94 altima wont start help!!!

[junglequeen]

my 94 altima wont start unless i push it and "pop" the clutch right now. when i try to start it all of the relays light up but nothing else. its not the battery. theres a possability that its the starter but im pretty sure it has somthing to do with the clutch. i thought it was clutch position switch(aka start switch, interlock switch, neutral safety switch) because the cruise control stopped functioning a couple days before the car wouldnt start. from what ive read when the clutch position switch goes bad that the cruise stops working too. but i got a new switch and put it in and the car still wont start. this makes me think maybe the clutch pedal needs to be reajusted. am on the right track here or no? has anyone else had this happen to them? i also had new master and slave cylinders put in recently and the when the car was running, it would grind a little going into second gear. i am in desperate need to get my car running now and i dont have the money to get it into the shop so im here basically begging you all to help with any suggestions you have. if i really want to just bypass the position(start) switch on the clutch to see if that will do the job but i cant find any instructions on doing that and i dont know what wires the wires from the switch would have to be connected to. maybe someone knows that too. i really need some help here. i havent been able to find jack on the internet and ive been looking for weeks now. thanks in advance.

My gf has a 96 and her starter solenoid went out. So when she turned the key nothing happened no clicks, nothing. But the battery was charging and everything else worked on the car. I'd try to get at your starter and bring it in to a parts store to have them test it. I would highly doubt an electrical gremlin would act up on the clutch switch since it's sooo simple. Just check to make sure the little black button on it is popping out when the clutch pedal is pushed in. I'd bet on the starter, but I have been wrong before.

I had this problem on my 93 altima and it did turn out to be the sylenoid. but when i took it in to be tested it worked fine.... when i put it back it didnt work....i tapped on the starter with a wrench it started right up and has worked since...try getting underneath that beast and wiggle the wires on the starter and tap on it.
