My car just recently quit starting for no reason, turn the key and click goes the solenoid but the starter does not turn. I can push the car and pop the clutch in 2nd gear and no problem. Then, when I get home I turn off the car and try to start it and it starts with no problem. Any ideas what could be making it intermittently start sometimes and not others?

Check and test the starter, starter relay and the clutch switch
