Car wont start....not the starter
Well, I searched, and most of the answers I came up with was "Bad starter". I just bought a TII yesterday and had towed it to my house. When I turn the key, nothing happens. The guy I bought it from said the ignition switch was just replaced and I bought a new battery for it that same day. I took the starter out to check it the lazy way, with jumper cables to the battery etc, the starter works fine. Good starter, good battery, I dont know whats going on. Could it be the starter relay or ignition switch? Im all out of ideas.

Sounds like a bad ground, or maybe a broken wire between the switch and the starter.
Edit: It could also be the interlock switch that prevents starting when the clutch pedal is not pushed in.

what the previous poster wrote...check the main fuse.
i just recently had this problem...it was the main fuse in the engine bay. cant miss it. 80amps. just remember that it's screwed in on both sides when/if you have to replace it.

If it's not the Main fuse, then check the ENGINE fuse. It's inside the car. The interior fuse box. The Main Relay won't pull in without this item being good. You also won't get spark if it's bad. Or fuel.
If your getting spark, then it isn't the Engine fuse.
