If it is an automatic, try putting it in neutral to start it. If it is a manual, check to make sure the clutch safety switch is working right. Double, no triple check the ground. That is an all important part that most people overlook. Does the car have a security system on it?

I had the same problem with mine, it was the starter relay under the dash (behind the radio). You can use a wire to connect the wires to see if that is the problem.

It sounds like something in the dash or ignition switch to me. You said the guages don't dim or turn off or anything. That says to me that the car is never getting a signal from the switch that you're trying to start.

Do you see any small pieces of plastic in the floor by the pedals? Check the safety neutral switch down by the clutch pedal. Look to see if it came unplugged, is broken, or a wire has come loose.

EDIT:

DOH! Didn't even notice that had been covered.

How did you test it?

you say need it done. Does that mean u weee working on it? I had a problem like that a week or so ago after rebuilding motor. When i put tranny and block back together didnt have the spacer plate in, i didnt realize how important that lil peice if sheet metal was. You could always try that.
