LT1 won't start...help.
Okay so i baught a 1995 trans am a little over a month ago and it won't start anymore. I moved to minnesota to play hockey so i don't have any tools to work with so i was hoping someone had an idea of whats wrong. Ill start from the beginning.
Woke up this morning and drove to practice. Drove and started up just fine. Car sat for maybe 2 hours and i came back outside to leave and my car wouldn't start. Tried to jump it and nothing. When i turn the key the car doesn't want to turn over or anything. Theres no clicking or anything it just sits there. Does this sound like my starter or something could have gone bad? I need this fixed as this is the only car i have up here so hopefully someone can help! Thanks! Btw it has around 138k miles on it if that helps.

Theres a purple wire that runs from by the PCM to the starter check and see if that gets power what you turn the key. If it does then odds are its the starter if not then it could be the ignition switch itself
