ok got my 94 started..but

the only way it starts is if I put direct power from the battery to starter..... Wit key on the on position..... It's an auto so I can't push start...... What do any of you think the problem is....... Cause I checked the signal wire to the starter and there is no power getting to it.... No wires seem to be broken....

Start by checking the ignition switch behind the key cylinder. It comes loose over time. After that you can check the starter cut relay, make sure the wires aren't shorting out. From there you will want to make sure the inhibitor switch is functioning properly. It is the switch on the transmission that makes sure you are in Park or Neutral when starting. Sometimes it gets misaligned and prevents you from starting.

I had the same problem about a year ago and bypassed the inhibitor switch altogether. I ran a wire from the starter cut relay directly to the starter. This retains the alarms function during a break in, but you have to make sure you are in Park when starting.

Look on page Z-26 of the wiring diagram for a schematic of the starting system.
