Now I think I have a bigger problem than the starter..all my dash lights,radio,gauges, headlights, blinkers,traction control and stability control turn on and off while I'm driving down the road but I can turn them back on by turning the key like I'm trying to start it

Is your battery connections clean, kinda sounds like a dirty ground problem somewhere in system. Years ago a friend had a 81 trans am did same similar with taillights. every time it rained his lights wouldn't work. ended up being grounds.

I would check and make sure your grounds are good as well then look into the BCM(body control module). Do a search for "Camaro bcm" and you'll find plenty. Not so uncommon an issue on aging F-body cars. Starting and most of the lights and such run through this. It would be helpful information to see of you can get a response from the PCM with a scan tool when the key is in but the dash lights won't work.
I guess we should have started with basics..what kind of vehicle is this?
