Im kinda stumped, ive got a 90 GSX, manual, and all the sudden my car wont crank over. I just replaced the starter, and ive checked the battery and its ok, i rechecked all my connections and they are good, but when i go to start the car, i can hear the starter click, everything comes on but it wont crank. This just happened out of the blue, i drove the car out on a date, come out of the movie and went to start up and nothing, had my uncle come push start me and it started that way (push the car, pop the clutch) and it drove just fine. Im lost at the moment on why my starter wont turn over with a good battery and a remanned starter? I thought of possibly the clutch switch, but would that just out of the blue go bad, and will the starter still tick if thats gone bad? any help would be appreciated.

Everytime I have heard of those symptoms it has been a low battery. The clicking is the starter solenoid. It just doesn't have enough juice to fully engage. If the pushstart worked and the car kept running then the alternator is out of the picture...

Well i got it figured out, it was the dumb plastic rivit piece on the back of the clutch pedal came off, so it wasnt engaging the switch in the back. Thanks anyways. Go figure something dumb like that had to ruin my date LOL
