Won't Start

Okay,

I know there are a few things check, but I wondering what is the most common failure

Battery is fine
Starter fuse is fine
Terminals are Clean
Won't jump start
Will Push start

Could it be the clutch pedal start switch? It there a way to bypass it to see, or (even better) is it a cheap part, I can't just go to the dealer and change out.

It could be the starter I guess, but when it does kick in, it always seems to be strong

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Is the engine turning over? If so, you can rule out the clutch switch. Need more info.

please help

i have an 89SE and a 93GXE, the 89SE is a 5 spd, it's not starting recently, i cleaned the terminals, jiggle the contact and it start right up, but after switching on and off 3 times, it died again. I replaced a battery but it wouldn't start, the engine wouldn't turn, can someone tell me why?

my other question is, my 93GXE's powerlock doesn't work any more, what's the deal?

I tried the search function but it's not working can someone please help?
