ok so i have had thius car for about 3months now, last week i changed the clutch an the car ran fine for the first day then the next morn it was slow starting like the batt was low but its not . either way i get to work an after that the car will not start by the starter but u can push start it an it runs fine.
now so far i have replaced the starter an the starter relay an still nothing now the part that has me stumped is that if i run a hot wire to the starter it will not kick on like it should all my grounds are hooked up so im kinda lost oh an i bypassed the clutch switch also an still nada , could this be the mail relay? please any help would be great,

Ignition switch more likely than main relay. check to see that you have to power to starter relay and power to main relay while trying to start.
hmm. if it pop starts, wouldnt that mean that the ignition switch/relay have to be good because of fuel, spark? i could be wrong. sounds like a bad starter or solenoid. if it does nothing while the starter is grounded and jumped it sounds like a bad starter to me.
edit: im an idiot, you already replaced the starter...

Main relay should click 3 times if it is good. What happens when you turn the ignition on? I would check your starter connection's mine has vibrated off before.

even if it was the ignition switch, if he hooked direct power up to the starter and nothing happened, that wouldnt be caused by the ignition switch though right?
