another NO START issue please help
I been having a start/crank up issue for a few days now. I refrained myself from posting this when it happened, because i wanted to do as much thread searching as i can before i ask. I've gone insane trying to figure this out...
A few days ago, my care was running fine, no issues at all. Then one morning i tried turning on my car, and nothing came on. All my Accessories come on, my radio and lights all work. Checked the battery, alternator, coils, then the clutch switch to make sure it was connected and working. We pushed start it and it was fine! ran great, until i turned it off again. Checked all the connections again...
nothing...
This lead me to believe that the culprit was the starter. I bought a reman starter from my parts store, put it on, and still nothing. I have checked the voltage on my battery running to my starter to my ignition. The power is all there. I even tested the started by doing the ol' screw driver trick and it would turn ON.
I checked my ignition switch, and the power is there too ( multimeter test )
its been 3 long day with barely and sleep and lots of frustration.
It would be awesome if i could get any help.
This is a 87 TII with S5 JDM motor

A few things to rule out.
Take the clutch switch and jumper it at the harness and then try to start the car.
another thing is Take a negative lead(Booster cables),put it from Battery to Engine..try to start.
If those 2 don't work then Try the same with a Positive lead to the Starter then try it again.
That will rule out Clutch switch,bad ground and bad + feed to starter.
If it is not those then it lays within the start position and it's wiring.That could be another set of problems like a bad feed to the solenoid switch on the starter amongst other things.
