UPDATE:

Seems I figured out the issue. The original owner had installed an aftermarket car alarm along with the remote starter. I removed the control box for the alarm along with the wiring and cleaned up all the existing wires turned the key and bingo. Starts up perfectly.

thanks all for the input.

hello! rmudbugs was right. i have seen alot of those switches go bad too on that model at the dealer i work at.this one time i replaced the ignition switch, still same issue, would start every 3 or 4 turns. i found out that the owner had an aftermarket alarm system, the starter soleniod wire coming from the ignition switch was hooked into the system. i disconnected it from the alarm unit and hooked it back up like it came from the factory, and it fixed the problem. look over that wiring under the dash very carefully. find that wire and make sure it isnt the same setup! alarms did come factory on that model, but were controled by the ETACS computor, that unit is located on the floor pan directly under the radio. all aftermarkets ive seen they put under the drivers side dash. good luck!! greg...
