I tried to start my car a month, I turned the key and nothing happened. I looked at girlfriend and tried again and nothing happened so I sat there a min or two or three and then I tried it and it worked.
came back home and the key wouldn't turn backwards to turn the car off so I got some pliers and made it turn off.
it drained the battery for two weeks before I had another key cylinder and key for it.
put another battery in and nothing happened so we replaced the ignition module and nothing.
so we replaced the ignition switch, nothing happened.
we replaced the starter solynoid and nothing happened.

grandpa can activate the starter with a screw driver and it runs for a few seconds and turns off.

can you help me?

Hello, maybe something going on with the theft system? Have you tried cranking in neutral? Purple wire at starter solenoid S terminal, should be hot with key in the crank position. Any testing make sure the tranny is in park or neutral.
