    Check in the manual for the car, there may be a button to push or, perhaps you need to push in on the key as you turn it. If you do not have a manual, try calling a dealer and ask the Service department. Try wiggling the steering wheel gently as you turn the key -- the wheels may be turned and binding the interlock.

Try starting it in neutral. It could be that the neutral safety switch is slightly askew.

Your key is either worn; try another key or the ignition switch pins are either worn or sticking.

3: try the key again

Car wont start after leaving key in ignition,ie went to start car, but phone rang, key in ignition, now wont start.this has happened my wife on several occasions. starts fine on a push

Check the fuse box for the starter relay, and pull out to check pins for corrosion / bad contact. The fact it start on a bump with the key on leads me to suspect the start / crank position of the electrics. Get a knowledgeable person to run through the crank circuit with a meter, also check the condition of earth straps and starter cables. Could be the ignition switch is faulty?

easy huh? door open indicator is said
and say go to page 70 , so.....
im not sure, but may be they dont want the car started, with doors open?

page 85
When you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II), the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few
seconds, then go out. If the indicator
starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the
key. Turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and turn the switch to ON (II)
again.

so is the IMMO killing starts.?
no?
then page 200, shows how to start, the car.
if you cant crank, say so, if it cranks but wont start
is the IMMO blinking
is the CEL on key on? no started , in not there is a fuse blown.

I put the key in the ignition and turn it forward i see my lights come on and radio comes on but when i try to turn key to start the car it wont turn

The solution lies in the interlock with the shift linkage. Make sure the transmission and therefore the shift colomn make it into park or neutral.
