Is it getting spark? if so I'm guessing your next step is fuel. I have a strange feeling it's a relay went bad but it's to early to know right now since I don't know the full details on what you did or how your troubleshooting.

He said there is no crank. Have you tried to see if the starter will crank when directly connected to the battery? Could be the ignition switch in the steering wheel.

Make sure you have two wires going to your starter. There is one with a little tab that just slides on, i've seen them fall off. Without it, the car will not crank when you turn the key. If it's on good, try running a wire from the battery positive terminal and touch that little tab on the starter. If it turns over, the problem is either a clutch/neutral safety switch, or your ignition.

Report back when you know.

Moses, check what I said. There should be a power wire on your starter and another wire. If the wire is hooked up firmly then take a positive wire from your battery and run it to the little wire on the starter. Make sure the car is in neutral and the e-brake is on.

If it turns over you know it's something that engages your starter, or stops it from engaging.
If you figure that much out, we could move on.

Neutral safety switch... it's basically the same set up. Won't start if it's not in park or neutral, and if it's bad it might not turn over at all.
