'98 Acura TL ... if I turn the ignition switch to the ON selection ... nothing happens. The lights, radio, signals, etc work but the car doesn't turn on. No clicking noise or anything. I was thinking it could possibly be the ignition switch, starter motor, or solenoid. How would I find out?

you need to check for voltage at the little wire at the starter motor. if there is, the starter is bad. if not, you need to trace from the ignition switch to the neutral safety switch and then to the starter.
