I've already gone through everything and this is where i'm actually down to. I know a enough that even after the car dying, and getting some tools on it, it still wouldn't start. Which brought me to something that has to do with the Clutch and the connection - Changed the Clutch Relay, and the car does start and will run.

The car is doing the same thing before the clutch relay went out. I finally got my relay today, and was able to crank the car over, and drive it.

Whenever i push the clutch in, and turn the key to start position, it makes a weird noise like the starter is trying to engage, but it's not.

After 3-5 attempts, it finally starts

It did this before i replaced the Relay to. But after the motor swap, it cranked just fine.

Maybe electrical? Anyone else have anything similar to this problem?? Thanks!

Might want to check the started relay under the hood on the pass side fender near the battery. Its a pretty big blue relay. Currently I have a paper clip jammed in mine.

Both starters are used, and they are in good working condition. But over 200k on each.

I just changed that big blue plug - It's called a Clutch Relay

When the key is in full turn position with the clutch pushed down, it goes

Errrrr

Then i let off the key, and turn it to full position again, and it cranks.

If i do it to fast(turn the key to off, then full on position again) it doesn't crank, i have to wait 2 seconds

I think i may get a new ignition coil

That's probably what it is
