I have the car listed above SE model. I recently replaced the clutch and have been having problems getting it started ever since. It use to start after 2 or 3 times then it just increased from there (4 to 5 times) now it won’t start at all. I’ve replaced the starter, alternator, and crank shaft sensor and still nothing. I’ve listen for the fuel pump when turning the car over and it comes on. Someone please help?

Good morning,

Does the engine crank over when it will not start or does nothing happen when you turn it to start?

Did you verify the battery voltage?

Yea it cranks over. It actually sounds like it wants to start it just never catches once your turning the key. The battery is new just replaced it 2 weeks ago.

Okay, you need to test for fuel pressure, spark, and compression.
