Is it a manual?

Try pushing the gas pedal a little before turning the key.

So the engine won't turn over. Does '85 have the VATS system that used the resistor in the key? From what I think I remember if the resistor and/or ignition lock get worn and don't get good contact on the resistor, the VATS system will disable starting...
