dude it can be too many things to list...

first of all does it rev at all? click once? machine gun click?

if it revs but doesnt turn over OR sounds like a machine gun click then a starter could be in mind.

slow rev could mean battery low charge.

single click could mean battery low charge or starter also.

fuel pump could be going out, i dunno you gotta say what its doin.

is it a straight D or did you swap?

Run your hand up the clutch pedal arm, you will find a tab with a hole in it and it should have a rubber pad (in the hole). This is the cushion for the clutch interlock switch. If the pad is there you need to go on up and find the interlock switch and manually close and see if the engine will spin,I hope this helps.
