Its a 96 max the ignition was shot so my friend rigged it so we could get it back my garage it got there fine, but then the next day i put a new ignition in it and it wouldn't start at all ( it wasn't turning over) so i went through every thing i knew to fix it i replaced all the fuses and realys for the starter and ECM still nothing. :'(

I need help too. I have a 1997. It started great yesterday morning. Last night I moved it and it was a bit harder to "catch" and start. The starter motor turns fast. It did start and it wouldn't idel really well. Well then this morning the starter motor turns it hard and fats but it doesn't catch. A buddy put his meter on it and to check the codes and it says there was no signalk from the cranck sensor he checdkls the ohms on it and it was off also. I cant get the part till tomorrow but if it ISN'T the crank sensor(s) any ideas what else it could be??

Rusty, did you check the Shift Lock on the console?

cherlas, the crank sensor is probably the fix.
