If it won't crank it could be:
The neutral safety switch is going out or not attached properly. It's a switch that verifies the vehicle is indeed in Neutral or park before allowing the car to start. Since you didn't give any details on the year of your stang, i can't tell you exactly where it's located but, it's normally on the transmission housing and is connected inline with the trans-shift cable.
Or it could be an ignition switch problem.

starting problem
hi, like i said, i wasn't sure how to tell what is happening, but, i'll add, with the trans in park or neutral, i hit the key, and sometimes it starts sometimes it dosen't, could be the ignition, or it could be something with the trans, does that help any?

As mentioned above, it is the neutral safety switch. Probably attached to the side of the transmission also as mentioned, and likely something is loose and causing the switch to not "close" when Park or Neutral are selected.
