If you can engage it with the screwdriver at the starter motor-sounds like your ignition switch or a starter relay-

Lets not forget it could be the neutral safety switch its a automatic. Do you have a multi meter to do some testing? To trace the power flow to the starter the starter might even flow thru the computer on that one would have to look it up.
