Could be a bad ignition switch or the starter may not be mounted correctly, or the wires are on wrong

Check the ingnition switch on the steering column for proper voltage and for start signal. When u hold the key in the start poss. If ok test for power at the starter soliniod when u hold the key in start poss.
