Default car wont start - where do i start trouble shooting?

Hi guys, im back.


anyway. i started my civic, drove it out of the garage. turned it off.... came back an hour later - i have power, but nothing happens when i turn the key all the way - its just like how it wont start without the clutch pressed in... except for that the clutch is.

fuses are fine

i checked the clutch sensor - plastic thing is not stuck in...


im :run:

Then my guess is its your starter. I had this problem on my 93. Give it a good smack and see if it starts. If it does then your starter is bad if it doesn't then your starter is probably still bad.

Also could be the clutch switch. I have problems in the winter since the cold shrinks things. I had to wiggle my foot to get the car to start. I guess I need adjust it a little
