Angry starting issues

so i just bought a 02 z28 6speed. and for some reason it will not start sometimes. most of the time its after i drive it from work or when motor reaches normal opperating temp. but its also happened once when tryin to start it in the morning. i turn they key all the lights turn on but will not crank over. everything works fine.any 1 have any idea what it could be. let me know this prob is really annoying me lol

Did you check all of your fuses? Or maybe there is something wrong with your key. The chip might not be operating right.
