My 92 did this and it turned out to be the PCM fried. We are trying to help, but it'* very hard with this problem, there are so many reasons why it won't crank. Getting someone to pull the trouble codes would help alot/eliminate some suggestions. I know one thing that has happened to a few in your year range is the cable in the console that prevents the car from starting without the key has broken.

Process of elimination. It takes time to get to that point. Let'* not worry about that now...you've got a bunch if test'* to do and we can probably find something else for you to hunt down and check before the "replace the PCM" recommendation comes out.

Ya, don't let my experience just point you there. It could be any number of things. And replacing the computer'* prolly the most expensive of them. You pry up your console top to view if that cable is broken if you run out of other possibilities.

Are you jumping the posts on the starter? I believe that starter test post had now to check the voltage at the starter. You will need to do that. You could have a bad key switch, or a bad solenoid.
