Lamps are bright, radio heater and signal work fine.

It is an automatic, i do have a anti theft system (aftermarket) but this was happening even before i put it in.

as for checking voltage i am unfortunatly not at my car but i can check it later if the above doesnt clear anything up. as for the location for checking the voltage, while the car is in neutral i am checking the sense swift? just a little more clarification on what to look for..

Thanks A lot for you help and time in responding...

I have a 97 cutlass GLS and am experiencing the same problem as you. I turn the key and dash lights/radio/headlights work fine. But engine does not turn over. I was told that the problem could be a bad Neutral Starter Switch. I replaced the switch but still experience the same problem. My next guess is to test the Starter next. Thought this information may help with your problem

For the heck of it, rap on the starter with a hammer, while someone else holds the key in the crank position.

Could be the VATS system (vehicle anti theft) it is the the little resestor in the ignition key, it does not always contact wriggle key
