Default Any ideas on why my car won't start?

Car doesn't want to start, no cranking.
So this has been happening for the pass 4 months already didn't really mind me much. When it first started happening, it was only happening once every like 2-3 weeks. Then about a week ago, it started to get worst and started to happen every time I try to turn on the car. The car eventually turns on but it takes from 30 seconds to 10 mins just trying to start the car.



Things I have tried doing
-Changed my 2 times still wasn't working
-Starter (a year old) tried hitting it with a hammer
-SparkPlug changed 2 weeks ago
-Checked if my t-belt was right
-Oil is great- old sparkplugs didn't show any sign more oil buring hard
-Fuelpump replaced just today still not working

Here is a video of what I am talking about -

changed your what 2 times? Take your starter to autozone/advance and have them test it. ALso check the ignition wiring (behind knee bolster after key tumbler. My EG plagued me with random no starts very similar to what you are experiencing. Bought my wiring off EBay for pretty cheap

Just got tested my starter checked at O'reilly today, they said it was working fine. I haven't checked the ignition wiring, i guess I'll give that a try. Meant 2 say changed the battery 2 times, but my old battery was working fine, just changed it 2 times make sure.

Check the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal and the rubber stopper it presses on.

Don't know if it is suppose to do this or not but the clutch pedal does touch the clutch starter switch. But it only brings the switch half way in, should I re adjust it?
