Here's a few things i would try if it was my car:<P>1. Buy a new starter<P>2. Try popping the clutch if you have a 5-speeed. <P>3. Check your alternator, spark plugs, and ignition wires.<P>4. Reset your ECU (unplug your battery for like 10 mins). This has solved many of my problems.<P>Can u hear the car trying to start? Or does nothing happen??? Explain the situation a little better and i'll try to help as much as i could

I have 5sp, but I don't think it is starter because when I turn key there is nothing heppening. Starter does not even work. It is something in connection or I am afraid it might be one of the sensors. What do you think. Where is in manual it can be?

It's probably the starter...<P>did you try popping the clutch?? (Turn the key...keep the clutch down with the car in 2nd gear...push the car or roll it down a hill...when u start moving, pick up the clutch and the car should start). Once it starts, let it run for a while...then try to start it normally.

i don't think its the starter! run a search on distributors...i had mine replaced for the same problem and that fixed it. TONS of people here have had the same problem. do a search, and see what you think before you buy any parts. :(
Dude.
