I HAVE A 93 PONT BONNA IT DOESNT WANT TO START, ITS A 3.8 V6. BATTERY IS GOOD. INSTRUMENTS COME ON OK.
BUT WHEN I TRY TO START IT IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING. I HIT THE STARTER WITH A HAMMER TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO SOMETHING.
I DISCONECTED THE PLUG WIRES AND INSERTED A SCREW DRIVER AND TOUCH BARE METAL TO SEE IF IT SPARK BUT IT DIDNT DO ANYTHING. ANY SUGESTIONS/IDEAS

I'm a little confused about your spark plug comment. This car is not cranking or doing anything, right?


Is there a security light on or flashing when this happens?

Have you tried starting it in Neutral instead of Park?

NO, THERE IS NOT A FLASHING OR SECURITY LIGHT, I JUST WENT OUTSIDE TO TRY ON N AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING.
ABOUT THE SPARKPLUG COMMENT, WHAT I DID DICONECTED THE NUMBER ONE SPARKPLUG WIRE AND INSERTED A SCREW DRIVER AND WHILE MY SON TURN THE KEY I RUBED THE SCREW DRIVER TO A METAL SECTION OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET. I WANTED TO SEE IF IT SPARK AT ALL. UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDNT.

You couldn't possibly have spark if the engine isn't cranking. Someone is going to have to follow a wiring diagram and troubleshoot the circuit. Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to be able to do that.
