My car wont crank at all. its a little hard to turn and it clicks when i turn it. i checked my starter,battery,and cables. could it be the ignition switch on the steering colum? its a 95 camaro z28.

It's the starter.

Please provide with more detail. Does it make a click sound when turning the ignition? Does it crank?
Have you tried to jump the battery with jumping cable or tried it on a know good batteries?
- If the car does make a cranking noised then the starter is good but weak battery.
- If there is no noise or clicking, then dead battery.
- If you can hear the clicking when turning the key to start, then check for battery GROUND.
- If battery were tested and it read 12.5 - 14.0 DCV. Then your starter are bad.

There also other thing to check like security alarm system with ignition switch kill... But most common problems with fail to start are mention above.

The crank sensor only comes into play while the engine is cranking or running to tell the computer where TDC is.
A no crank issue would be only the starting or security system.
Do you have battery power at the starter when the key is in the start position ? Are the battery cables clean and tight on both ends ?

The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. Clicking from the distribution block must be the starter relay. Swap in another relay from the block into that socket to see if the relay is the problem.

If the engine doesn't turn over it is not a fuel issues as fuel will keep it from starting. However the engine will still turn over what is more likely is a starting system concern since it just clicks it is probably the starter or starter circuit. again the fuel pump cut off only turns off power to pump which will cut fuel.. engine will still crank.

Check for loose corroded or bad battery ground cable. Check starter relay.

no cranking at least? there's a lot of possibilities, battery, starter, ignition coil, fuel pump ( if the car is cranking thou ) main relay etc etc

-Check for spark and fuel.

Could be the cables or the starter. Remove the starter and have it tested.

your ignition switch are wrong or your starter stay on check with test light at little wire on starter when u are cranking light on when u leave the key no light will come
