Try moving the shifter sack and forth wile holding the key in start position.

If you can put a test light on the starter side of the solenoin have someone turn the key this will tell you if you have power that far

Have you checked your neutral safety switch?

Neutral safety switch may be on the top of your transmission. I have an 89 Mariah and the switch was OK but my shift cable brass ends were worn,causing intermittent start problems.

Run a jumper from one terminal to the other this will bypass the switch to rule out a faulty switch.
