1988 iroc 5.7 won't start

Hi. I turn the key in the iginition and the dash lights come on.Along with the fuel and battery gauges move. I hear the fuel pump click on, But that is about it. No clicking or anything from the starter? Tryed to jump start it and still no results. Boy i sure could use all the help anyone could give me to get it running again. thank you for your time.

have you checked the leads going to the starter? if they are in good condition i would say your starter is bad.

Thank you for the reply. Well just for the heck of it i went out today and it turned over like nothing was wrong? Could it be that the iginition switch is going bad? I don't think the relay or safety switch would work intermittently would it?
