(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!

Does it roll start? It might be the plastic pad on the clutch pedal. When you press in your clutch to start your car, this pad presses the switch. As the plastic gets old, it crumbles. Look in your floor board to find any blue or white plastic pieces.
The pad is similar to the pad on the brake pedal / light switch:

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!
