Default Car Won't Start!!!!!!!

The battery has a full charge, but when i turn the key i get nothing. Not even the clicking sound of the starter. I took my viper alarm out thinking that it may be going bad and initiating the starter disable mode. Now that the alarm is disabled it still won't start. It starts sporadically. Need some help guys.

this same thing happend to a buick i own. We looked/ replaced everything we could think of and it ended up just being the alt with a short and it wouldnt allow and power to the starter. The cabin lights and stuff would still come on but the starter had no power. We replaced the alt and it fixed the problem. I would use a volt meter to track it down. See if the starter is getting power. If so you need a new starter.

Does your security light flash or stay on....? You need to do a forum search on "VATS" its a anti-theft system that screws up on almost all F-bodies....rediculous design if you ask me....i'm sure you'll find your answer......
