Does it crank and not start? Or does it refuse to crank if that's the case check battery and cables and don't rule out a bad new starter, also suspect neutral safety switch and ignition switch, use a test lite check for current at starter battery terminal then check the switch terminal you'll need help to check for current at the srarter switch terminal on solenoid hope this helps
