It seems to be your neutral safety switch has broken. The key will turn, but no start or anything correct? Do a search and you'll find all the info there. If I recall, it's a rather cheap fix.
Good luck.

I just had identical problem.
It was the transmission safety switch. The part cost $37.00 mail order from Rusty Cullen. Cost me 1 hour labor paid to a local independent garage to get it installed.
If your car does not start some time before you get the part installed, it will start if you shift to neutral first. |

PartsShop (our benefactor) has the part and quick service. Look upwards at the page header. (shameless plug)
