try diagnosing instead of throwing parts at it.
does it crank? if yes, your problem is air/fuel/spark related
if no, then...starter, starter solenoid, ignition, bad ground, could be a few things

You need to tell exactly whats going on for us to be able to give any form of help. Crank? .. yes no? etc.....
Also, put some info in your signature so we can understand what car we are talking about here. All I can guess is that its a mid 80's Camaro.
