You may have a bad Starter Cut Relay:

 

thanks man ill try that....see if it work, cross my figure, and for the rest of the other HT peeps, thanks man, im like hella stress out on this....im a noob on car work

 

Mine used to do that, the problem was the cround.. i shaved down the grounding bolt spot, cleaned the terminals, and baught a thick *** ground cable, put that on and no more issues...

I bet after it clicks dead, that you can go wiggle or shake your ground cable, get back in the car, and everything will power on...

 

hey where exactly the starter cut relay, like what color, what next to it, if you could can you provide picture, im not sure how it look like, thanks very much...

 

i dont think is the grounding cable, cause i got power to the car, just that it wont start...

 

I've seen a similiar issue like this, with one of the cables that goes to the starter, becoming unplugged. And you can barely tell because it has a rubber cover around it. Theres' 2 cables, the thick one coming from the battery, and the thin one I assume comes from the ignition switch. THIS is the one I pushed back in, and tightened. Check it out.

 

Clutch switch?

Hey - I had the EXACT same symptoms.. and checked the small cable that goes to the starter post too. It was loose. Plugged it back in, and the car started right up!

 

i just change the starter, and plug the two wire in, and i my old one was still good....

 

okay i took out the bottom part of the dash and the metal pease and i can only find one of the fuse, i think cause i dont have moonroof, so will the moonroof relay still be there or not, anywase i found one relay but it look like the power window relay, than again i dont have power window, so is that it im not sure......and i cant even get it out, if any body know the part number to it, that be geart, cause the lady at dealership didnt understand what it is...anywase any ideas

 

before your car pooped on you.....did it ever randomly have issues on starting

The starter cut relay is shown in the lower right side of the bottom picture that I posted. Note the slight differences from the power window relay (also shown in picture). Additionally note that, after you remove the relay, the picture also details how to test the relay so that a good relay is not replaced unnecessarily. The relay tests require a continuity tester and a battery power source.

 

nope the car never have problem starting that bad

 

hey, i found the starter cut relay, the weird part is that it look like the abs relay, cause the i look at the horn relay, its different from the from the starter cut relay that weird, cause i dont have abs, hmm, then again im just giong to get the one that look like the horn relay with i cant find anywhere, only the dealership have it and i have to order too, plus is like $52 bucks...thanks guys

 

okay my HT people, okay change the starter relay and put in a new battery, guess what, it still doesnt start, now im clueless anybody got any suggestion what im should do???....if not than im probably take it to the shop...

 

i had a similar problem on my eg and it was the engine had no ground..dont kno how the car startered before the problem but it use to work perfectly until your same problem happen to me i just connected a thick *** wire from the engine to a ground and havent had any problems yet

 

im guessing you might have figured out the problem by now .. if not its the nuetral safety switch.. from all of what u said thats def ur problem .. when that goes it wont send power to the starter and alot of time when those go they give no warning .. but from all ur symptoms and what you've done that sounds like ur problem.. good luck

 

its 5spd there is no neutral safety switch
