so the motor doesnt turn over at all?

try turning the key and getting a buddy to tap the starter with a hammer. sometimes that will unstick a starter.

also, you can take starters to an automotive store like advance auto and get them tested for free

Do the dash warning lights turn on when the key is turned to ON(II)? Make sure the battery is fully charged. If all is good, check the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal. It's a common no-start problem.

All dash lights are strong, sunroof and windows go up and down too. 2 weeks ago the blue rubber stopper behind brake pedal feel apart, (Replaced Easy fix thanks to a post on (H-T). so It might be something with the clutch pedal. SHE'S OLD lol but woulden't trade her for any other car. Thanks again for everybodys quick responce, Ill post the results for future users:
