Check all your grounds, and clean them all. there are 3 of them, Clean the battery terminals and all that good stuff. Check all your fuses.

Does it roll over... but not start? or just nothing...?

Does the fuel pump prime? Does the CEL remain on steady when the key is in ON(II)?

Did the rubber stopper at the top of the clutch pedal fall out?

Does the fuel pump run while the key is held in ON(III)?

Can you push start the engine?

Are you saying the fuel pump does NOT run when the key is held in ON(III)/START?

If the fuel pump runs continuously when the key is held in ON(III)/START, then the ignition switch and starter switch on the clutch pedal is fine. It also predicts that the engine will push start. Check that.

Do you have a multimeter or test light?

Buy or borrow a multimeter because you need one to pinpoint the problem. Harbor Freight Tools has one for about $4.

Does the car push start?

This is likely only a temporary fix. Is your battery low on charge?
