Post it may be your starter

this is strictly based off when i burnt the starter on my talon but the starter may be out...the starter is not getting the fly going therefore the engine wont turn..... i prolly over simplified this but with the engine not turning i could only think to make sure the wheel is not locked and make sure the car is in park...

if it is the starter i plan to replace it myself. i know i can replace it b y taking off the intake manifold but it seems like so many little things to worry about. so i plan to do it at my uncles shop drop the tranny and get the starter that way is it possible???
