probably battery if nothing is happening. check your terminals, clean them or lightly sand them to ensure best connection.

Turn the key to the "on" position and leave the car in neutral. Then tap a wire to the positive side of the battery and the metal head thicker wire on the starter and ground the small stud with the small cable attatched to it. In other words see if the starter turns over. If all else doesnt work push the car until it gets some decent speed and pop the clutch with the car in first. (be careful not to skip a tooth on the cam gear) it will throw your timing off.

NEVER USE 1ST GEAR TO POP START USE 2ND it will be easier on the motor

also check your fuses under the dash and the ones under your hood!!!look over everything just pull fuses and insect them!also you can check batterie and grounds just like everyone else is saying! i bet you it is something stoopid

Agreed, in 2nd gear you will have a less chance of skipping a tooth on the camgear(s)

Agreed. The gears are spinning in place but the gears arent engaging the flywheel. You need to replace the starter because the one-way push bearing has gone out in the starter.

if your starter isn't grinding, thats not the problem. have you tried to jump start the car, or charge the battery?

Do you have voltage @ the large wire going to the starter?
Recheck the ground @ the trans. If it is not connected correctly it will not allow a path to ground through the starter housing.
