Default car wont start all of a sudden....help?

(and yes, I apologize for this being another damn "car wont start" thread)

I have a 93 EG Hatch w/ a GSR, and its been running fine for years, all of a sudden, now the car wont start. Its got a new battery. When I first turn the key's ignition the fuel pump does prime, and all the interior lights come on and work as normal. But then as I turn the ignition further to start the car, NOTHING HAPPENS at all, no cranking at all, no noises, no nothing. What could the problem be?

It wouldnt be the main relay since the fuel is being primed, right?

Also, I think the car might have given a bit of a warning a week ago, as I think it didnt start right up the first time once or twice. But now nothing.

Help! Thanks!

my guess would be that your starter went bad

check your fuses? fuses under the hood? grounds didn't get loose? check your starter with a buddy's starter to see if that the issue? are you able to kick start your car?

fuses are fine, the starter works fine.

the plastic piece on the clutch pedal was broke, found it all crumbled up on the floor mat. I replaced it and the car still wont start. Do I just need to reset the clutch interlock switch now, or can this be done? What should I check now.

And the starter works fine, i can 'manually' start the car anytime by using a jumper betwn the starter and battery, and the car starts up fine. When I turn the key to start up, I hear the click, the fuel primes fine for a few secs, then the cel goes out on queue, so I think the main/PGMFI harness works fine.

HELP!
