I think that after all the problems you have had with the car, you should take it to a shop. Too many people have worked on the car, not knowing what they were doing. Correct me if I am wrong.

Check fuse #6 (20amp) in the central junction box. If that fuse is cool go to the ignition switch fuse. Its a 40amp in the battery junction box. NOTE: Battery junction box is the fuse box under the hood, the central junction box is the fuse box under the dash. If the ignition switch fuse is ok go to the starter relay in the battery junction box. Pull the relay, swap it out with your a/c relay and see if the car starts. You can also pull the starter relay, look on the back and you'll see the numbers 85, 30, 86 and 87. Use a test light and check for power at the terminals where the relay comes into the BJB, so it'll be the corresponding terminals that the relay plugs into. With the key on and the clutch in you should have 12v at pin 85. You should have 12v at pin 30 at all times. 86 is ground and 87 goes to the starter solenoid on the starter itself. If you dont have power at pin 85 the clutch pedal position switch could be the problem. Disconnect it and jump the two terminals at the clutch pedal position sensor connector. That should be enough to help out.

when a battery has bad cells, can't the electronics still light up? But then it can't pump out enough for something like starting the car? Not sure, but I thought I've heard that..

How old is that battery? Can you jump start your car or pop the clutch. The main purpose of the battery, atleast this is what I thought, is to start the car. Once the car is started your alternator maintains the electricity in the car. So I am thinking must be Starter or Battery and since you say you have a new starter then must be either connections to battery or battery itself. Just adding my two cents

I would check all of your connections especially your grounds. Even if all of you lights and shit work the may not start b/c the starter pulls a lot of current.

If you can't find the bad connection by looking at it then I would get a good book on testing charging and starting systems, a good multimeter, and run through all of the tests.
