OK here goes. For about a week now when I sit in my car put my foot in my clutch and turn the key to turn it on at first it won't turn on(like if my foot weren't aLL the way on the clutch) the second time I turn it over it turns on no problem. This problems has continued till today. Now my car won't start. Could this be my starter? Because Now I turn the key and nothing! No noise no nothing! PLEASE HELP.

id guess ignition switch. i replaced mine once after those same symptoms. it was a very simple install.
if it starts intermittenly, id even check the starter relay

it also could be your starter silonode,its mainly located on the inside finder wall....or other option pull out the starter and take it to auto zone free stater test...it will only thake you 15m to pull it out....

If it will start at the solenoid, it is the clutch interlock switch..the manual's verison of a neutral safety switch. It's on your clutch pedal.

Yeah when I touch the pos. and neg. of solinode it turns over and then my buddy pushed the gas and it turned on. so u think it's the clutch interlock switch?
