Car won't start
Recently my car died on me at work( sr20ve b13).i turned the key to on to prime the fuel pump like I always do then went to crank car,car never turned over,no clicking from starter,just silence.I then got a buddy to help me push start it and it crank right up,when I got home turned off the ignition and went to crank it up again and dead silence.I've since checked the starter,battery,and alternator..they all checked out good...please if you got any ideas shoot em this way...
Could it be my ignition switch

there is a wire that connects to the starter. It may have fallen off the connector...

check the main ground that attaches from the frame rail to the engine. Mine went bad and did the same thing.

its probably your clutch peddle switch..... you can bypass it with a paperclip or piece of wire

Could be the ignition switch as well.

if ground and wire connections are all good, how is your starter solenoid?

take apart your starter and check the brushes, if worn, down just replace em.

if brushes are still thick, just clean your starter internals in some gasoline and reassemble.

carb cleaner is ok as well

I had the starter check and it checked out good, I guess solenoid might still be going out on it...will check that thanks...also are rebuild kits sold at local auto parts stores
