Re: i need HELP! car wont crank
bad connection. does you key have a little black pellet chip in it? your vehicle anti theft system might have malfunctioned. if you go to the wiring harness loom by the brake master cylinder you can pull out a bigger purple and red wires. jump the wires together and see if it cranks the car. the key will need to be on and in park w/parking brake set for safety reasons. other then that your neutral safety switch could be acting up. does the car start in neutral? or in another gear? again be sure to hold your foot on the brake. that's where i'd go.
and also i have seen plenty of starters pass the bench test and not work on the car

Re: i need HELP! car wont crank
but did the car get the whole vats system? doubtful. probably not your problem. did you test your battery and ensure the connections on them were good, clean, tight?

Re: i need HELP! car wont crank
Did you make sure the connector on the column that has the rod running to it was correct? You could try swapping it (it's a switch) with your old one. I think it only has two screws/bolts holding it on, but it's been awhile since I changed my column, so I could be wrong.
Couldn't hurt to check it.
