bump start that bitch...and if it starts after u parkit after drivin it for a while the battery was prolly low.
my car used to do this in the cold...now it doesnt....for some reason the way I cured it when it wouldnt start was to release the handbrake and then it would start right up...it was weird, now it has no problems

sometimes if the bendix isn't extending tapping it with a 2x4 can loosen it up enough to start.
your symptoms are no crank, right? dash lights come on? when boosting the car, no response from the starter - no nouse, nothing?

if its the original starter in there from 94 it prolly just on its way out and its time for a new one...so u might aswell replace it while it still has some function before u get stranded, unless ur like me and dont mind finding inclines to park on to bump start the car all the time
