Hi everyone. I need help to figure out the problem of my vehicle. First, it won't start at all. I check the battery & fuses and it's fine. I took my starter to Kragen and its fine as well. I'm wonder can it be a my relay? Or can it be my clutch interlock switch? How can i figure it out which one is the problem? Sorry im still learning how to deal with electrical problem. I hope you guys can help me out, if is not to much to ask. Thank you

If it has gas i would check the switch/button on the clutch pedal or the neutral safety switch, i spent a couple hours in the heat just yesterday wondering why mine wouldn't turn and it was because the piece on the clutch pedal that hits the switch/button had broken so the car didn't know i had the clutch in and wouldn't start. Just an idea, it may end up being a relay or something other. When is the last time that you started it before your problem? Best of luck

EDIT: Forgot the how, for the clutch switch you can just look at the top of the pedal and make sure its getting pressed when the clutch is down. Probably a real test, and any other info you need in here 240sx-fsm-full-service-manuals-s13-s14- ... 11075.html

Check your grounds i.e. car body and engine and when you check your fuses make sure you pull the fuse completely out and look at the filament, and take a look at your remote wire leading to your starter it's like a 12 gauge wire i believe it's bigger then 18 gauge!!!
