Default Ignition switch???

Stopped at the gas station to get a drink, then I tried to start her back up and the key just turns over, no engine or anything,

I have recently replaced the ignition key about a year ago and bought a new one today installed and still the engine does not turn.

Im going to replace the ignition switch next

if that doesn't work... Does anyone have any other ideas?

Ok fam 2 days later. I found it was not the ignition switch or key cylinder. Upon installing a new ignition switch the rod connected to the rack and pinion inside of the steering column fell out, along with a small piece of broken aluminum.

So thats the problem

Next question is how do i get the rest of the rack and pinion out as the chilton does not cover this.
