I would change the ignition module on the destributor

have to chance the electrical part of the keyswitch.

It is possible you need a fuel pump or carb could be all gumed up from sitting around

Do you have a check engine light? Ever check the alternator?

The first thing to look at would be the fuse. The fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search the pump fuse it should be around 30 amps.

It's called an "Inertia switch".. Its behind the kick panel on the passenger side. really small little red button. Just press it firmly to reset it.

Don't know what that switch would be, but sudden no starts are usually fuel or ignition spark related-one of them is not getting to the cylinders. See if you have a strong blue spark on a spark plug wire. If no spark, possibly a bad ignition coil or a bad TFI module on the side of the distributor. If you have spark, see if pump is putting gas up to the engine.

Douglas, I don't have a clue what frolling over is? what do you mean? What is your vehicle doing or not doing? If you would like assistance please please please help us to help you by giving as much clearly stated information about your problem as possible. Regards John

First start would be to rebuild the carb, if its been sitting for awhile the jets probably need replacing.

Look on Passenger side firewall or side panel for a black box with a red button (reset button) it has 2 wires going to it. It is called the Initeria Switch, it is about 1/2 as wide as a pack of cigarettes.
