There is no power going to the clutch switch so that is not the reason for the no start?So what did you find with the wires I told you to check going to the ignition switch?

My car will not even turn over when you go to start nothing, and a week before it quit starting all together. It had a really bad missing to it. We replaced spark plugs and still missed. The day it quit cranking it started and ran for about ten seconds and shut off and has not even turned over to try cranking since then. What could it be?

Four cylinder four wheel drive automatic 114,000 miles.

My vehicle will start and run fine for weeks and then it will turn over but not start. After trying a few times it starts. A couple days or weeks later same thing. I have had the battery tested and it is fine. Had spark plugs replaced two months ago. Help I am afraid I could get stranded out of town.

Get a helper disconnect a spark plug wire or two and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over, do you have a snapping blue spark? If so you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer.

This happened to my 2001 Sportage. First the starter was replaced but it continued to randomly happen. My mechanic then replaced the ignition itself. My car has cranked perfectly ever since.

Four cylinder two wheel drive automatic 70,000 miles.

Car has intermittent starting issues. Engine will not crank even though battery has been checked and is new. Headlights will burn until key is turned to start then they will go out. Ignition makes a buzzing noise while trying to start car. I suspect battery harness but was wondering if there is a way to bypass the starter to get car running?

Sounds like your starter is bad. You can short your starter, but this will burn the posts on the starter and make taking it out harder. Try this, While one person turns the key to start bang on the starter with a hammer a couple of times. If the vehicle starts you know you need a new starter.

Were there any shims on it when you removed it? Are all wires/battery terminals tight and clean? Try this test: Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for voltage to the smaller wire on the starter. You should have twelve volts. If you do, then most likely the starter is bad. If you do not, then you need to trace the power supply to locate where it is lost.
