"97 Sport won't start!
I turn the key and NOTHING!The lights for the radio/power windows go out when the key is turned,but nothing else dims.Battery power is good,connections also.It did thid before,then it just worked!Could it be the starter or solonoid???

is there a click or anything, or is it just the diming and nothing.... take a hammer or something thats is hard and sturdy.... crawl under the passenger side of the front right by the tire and smack the starter a few times.... no baby smacks but some reasonable hits.....
then try starting it
then try starting it

Check your voltage on the starter when the key is turned, whats the drop? Make sure your getting a signal to the starter before you go whacking it. Just my .02 cents

UPDATE!
Well i finshed the cooling system and changed the oil and filter today.I jumped the solonoid with a wrench a few times and the starter started working fine!All is well as far as that goes.
