Default my car is not starting/and not cranking

we just swapped a jdm d15b into my car about 2 weeks ago
i havent really drove it because i still needed a bumper and things but yesterday i drove my car and the only thing that doesnt work is the vtec

and i get in my car to start it just now and i second click the key and everything inside turns on like my radio and everything but when i push the key forward nothing happens. no noise or anything???

i dont see how it worked yesterday and not today
i havent been driving it around......

im extremely frustrated

Have you checked the charge on the battery? If it's fine, check the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal. If the switch is fine, check whether the you have battery voltage at both the starter motor and solenoid (with key in ON(III)).

i got down under the steering wheel and everything look up where the clutch pedal is and theres a like yellow plug i think going to the top of the clutch pedal...thats why our cars wont start unless the clutch is engaged. so check if its loose or unplugged maybe?
