Do the headlights work?

When you turn the key to ON(II), do the dash warning lights turn on? And does the fuel pump prime?

At the top of the clutch pedal, there is a switch that activates the starter solenoid circuit when the pedal is pushed down. A common cause for a no-crank problem is that this switch breaks.

Well are you getting amperage to the starter? Cause if you doesnt have enough it wont turn the starter over? Maybe the Diodes have gone bad in the starter comin problem (if OEM starter) had it with mine.

Put a jumper wire across the unplugged 2P connector for the switch. Does the engine now crank?

He doesn't yet know if the starter is bad. OP: First rule out a problem with the simple stuff like the switch. A voltmeter would also help you diagnose the problem.

I think you mean the windings because there are no diodes in the starter. There are diodes in the alternator.

I missed that, but even a test light would quickly pinpoint the problem if jumping the switch connector doesn't work.
