My camaro won't start..

Funny that the tagline in this section is "your camaro's engine won't start?" because that is exactly whats wrong with mine. well i wish i knew more to say, but when i put the key into the ignition, and turn it all the way, nothing happens, my fan turns on (since its hotwired) everything is normal, the radio will come on, and when i turn it, the little engine light comes on, but thats it. also, when I go to turn the key the other way, as if to turn the car off and pull the key out, the ignition sticks at the spot where the radio comes on. im sorry if this is a little confusing, but thats the only way i can explain this dilemma. any and all input is much appreciated

try this put your key in the ignition pull the fuse for the ECM and let it set a while with the key in it probably about 10 min or so put your fuse back in it should start up with no problems.
