What could be wrong with a 1997 z28 Camaro that won't start even when you jump start it?
The same thing just happened to my '94 z28 and it was the key ignition lock as far as I understand. The cylinder where my keys were inserted had screwed up and messed up the resistor chips on my keys. Had to have two new keys made and the key ignition lock replaced. It cost me $397 at the dealership. p.s. When your resistor chips on your keys arent being read by the cylinder correctly (like if there wet or damaged) the security system shuts down the starter and fuel systems for three minutes.

Depending on the year, from the early 90's on they are extremely difficult due to the Passkey system GM started using (keys with resistor chips in them) that makes it difficult to steal by requiring the properly coded key to be inserted before the engine will start. For most vehicles you need to start by removing the cover on the steering column. Sorry I cannot be of more help.
