Electrical problem
1998 Saturn SL1 Manual

My Saturn starts when it wants to. Will start with a push start. I have a fully charged battery. When the tow truck showed up to take to the shop it started 5 times in a row. Obviously I cancelled the tow. One day later, it started fine, took it around the block. Parked it in the driveway, Now won't start. Anyone heard of a "switch on the clutch pedal?" Could that be the problem, if so is it exspensive to fix? New starter?
