Which cutlass do you have? Several are listed, I can help you track the starter circuit, but, you'll have to do the testing.

If your saying the starter won't crank? Did you try cranking in neutral? When you turn the key on, do the dash lites come on? The purple wire at the starter solenoid should be hot with the key in the crank position. If it isn't hot, you'll have to backtrack the circuit. Let us know what you find.
