My '87 IROC Z/28 is mystifying me. I turn the key on to start it, and NOTHING happens. All lights work, radio & htr works, ignition buzzer works, wipers also. I go to the "start" position, and nothing. What gives??

If everything works except the starter, then it is possibly bad.
Will the starter crank if you jumper the "s" terminal on the starter
solenoid to the positive cable on the solenoid with a screwdriver?
Do you have 12V. at the "s" terminal when the key is turned to start, but the starter doesn't spin? If so, the starter is most likely bad.

Good question! Sometimes my car won't crank, but I push in
the clutch and it cranks right up!
Love my TH350!
