Being a 93 if VATS is tripped the starter will not try to turn over.
You can test this by viewing the dashboard lights and seeing what the security light does. Another test is checking for power at the stater soleniod when the key it turned to the start position.

*IF* it is your VATs, here is how to get around that. https://www.gmforum.com/t279119/ But try a different key first.

i tried both my keys no luck. when i try to turn the key the security light on the dashboard [ yellow] turns on but then goes away,
FYI my second key was broken, the center part fell out, i super glued it back in, thats the one that reads 9.37

Sounds like it probably is from the light indications you mention. Check for 12V+ at the soleniod wire at the starter, that will tell you w/o any doubts.

We're glad it worked out for you. Now you are ready for the winter. Nothing worse than getting stuck in a snow storm with car that won't start.
