Icon6 hot ignition??

I have problems with my ignition after been running for a while, it start right away when it's cold or hasn't been run for a while but if i turn it off it won't even crank sometimes, i already tried the main relay which i have about 3 or 4 since it used to start when i swapped them, so as the clutch relay but now it won't do it anymore, it simply won't start or even crank, it's really annoying because the only way it will do it is by push start it, does anybody has run with the same problem before or have an i dea what it could be?? i already tried so many things but i still don't get to the point, please any suggestions would be welcome and i appreciate the help in advance.

PS i forgot to mention that if i get to connect or disconnect the alarm it would act better or worse, may be the wires to the ignition switch or how can i figure that out??

remove the underdash cover and inspect the wiring to the ignition switch. see if there are any loose connections.

^ I have a push start and i still have the same problem as well, check your main engine to chassis ground wire, i know alot of starter's dont kick in cus of weak ground, or your battery may also just be low on power cus i have my batt in the trunk and only have that problem when voltage is low
