Starters are simple, big cable supplies direct power from battery. little wire gets power from starter relay after ignition switch is turned to on position. relay is located under hood in relay box on left fender.car safety neutral switch also has to be aligned and good try starting in neutral.

No crank

Something wrong in the start circuit. The fact that dash lights come on indicates the ignition switch seems ok.- power is getting to it and exiting it.

The next place to check is the starter: before taking it off and have tested, do this quick test: when the car won't crank over, pull off the small wire on the starter solenoid-mounted on the starter-and see if that wire has power when the key is held in cranking position. You will need a helper to hold key in start, and an inexpensive testlight or volt meter to see if the wire has power.
This wire is the signal wire from the ignition switch to activate the solenoid and allow battery power to turn the starter motor on.
If the wire has power and still no crank, then the starter or solenoid is the problem, assuming battery and cables are good and connected tight. Pull the starter off and test it. If starter is good, probably the solenoid.
If the wire has no power when key is held in crank, the problem is in the circuit from the ignition switch to the solenoid-includes the neutral safety switch, maybe a starter relay, too. One would begin testing by checking for power on the start wire exiting the switch with key in cranking pos. If good there, test the neutral safety switcfh. If you have manual transm, the switch would be on the clutch pedal. If automatic, have a shop locate and test that.
Good luck- often, not always, it is the starter or solenoid. But do that check for power at solenoid , first.

Whats a cilinoid?

It's spelled solenoid. It is a coil of wire that draws in a steel plug when activated.
Most commonlly used on a starter to pull the drive gear into the flywheel.

Ok I replaced the ignition key switch.put a new starter on , new battery, got power to all above, however the starter won't turn over . There is no fuses blown . Checked at advance auto on my 91 pickup...

Car no start problem is sometimes very difficult to confirm. You try all the possible things, but still you get no fault and problem is still the same.--------
In that case, you need to check few things individually.
Check the spark,the battery,the crank, the fuel and other most possible parts. Click this link below for more details:-- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/10/car-troubleshooting-tips.html

My starter is not is not catching a charge from the cilinoid. What do I do?

There are a couple of likely areas: the starter drive, and flywheel teeth. Pull the starter and get it bench tested. Look in the hole where the starter goes in and look for worn or broken teeth.... Hopefully a starter drive as flywheel replacement is a big job.
