I just went through this a few months back, ended up replacing the ignition lock cylinder because the VATS wire was broken. Until I get a new set of keys, I have the VATS relay jumped with a wire so it will start with the keys that came with the new lock cylinder (no resistor keys). Also the fuel pump died, and I replaced it with the Racetronix pump & hot wire kit.
The other day, I put the charger on the batter since it sat in the garage for just long enough that the battery seemed a little low on juice. After 10 minutes or so, I took the charger off, started it and pulled it out, turned it off. Went back out to start it 10 minutes later, and nothing. Just like it was when the VATS wire on the lock cylinder finally broke. The car has power, the lights work, the fuel pump primes, etc...It won't turn over. I don't know where to go with it at this point. I checked the fuses, all are fine. Starter? Starter solenoid? Through searching the forums I seen some people had problems with the starter relay, where's that located? Any suggestions? At this point, I don't know what to look for. Maybe I installed the lock cylinder in such a way that the wire was catching something in there and snapped through it, after all they are extremely thin wires.
I've about had it with this car, just when I get the lock cylinder in and the fuel pump over the summer, now it pulls a no-start on me again.
