it should be a little switch behind the pedal i believe on the floor? Idk i've never done anything with a manual but i know of the switch.Is the starter clicking?If it is clicking is it once or multiple times?Is the motor turning over?If its turning over is it slow or fast?Or do you turn the key and literally nothing happens?

My friend removed his alarm a week ago car didnt start so he reconnected the wires that he cut off the alarm to the wires that went out of the alarm(i think) and the car started up.

Do you have any loose wires? If so try reconnecting them. The wires are all color cordinated so it shouldnt be to hard.Why did you remove the alarm? If nothing else works if you still have it sitting around you could always reconnect it and see where that takes you.

Also did you check to see if the switch under the clutch was stuck?

Also the clutch switch is at the top of the pedal http://www.garage411.com/image...1.gifpicture of it

Than thats what is making the car not start it is on the clutch pedal assembly without it when you press the clutch pedal it will go through the hole on the clutch pedal assembly so if that was on the floor and you found it you just put it back in on the clutch pedal and it should start sorry for the blurry pictures my phone is not the best at taking them. Tell me if it works
