Why don't you try kicking the starter over using a screwdriver? Touch the positive lead on the back of the solenoid and the lead that actuates it -- there should be two bolts on the back. Make sure you're out of gear, parking brake is engaged and that your ignition is on. Oh yeah, make sure there no gas puddles at or near the starter... har har. As usual, try at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any injuries/damages/bad feelings. I got no money so don't sue me.
