I have a manual transmission 1995 Honda Civic that has been having an issue that is occurring more and more frequently. I push the clutch in and turn the key, the lights and everything come on, but the engine doesn't turn over. As of late, I have to try turning the key a few times to get it to start. Sometimes it works to move my foot on the clutch (which is all the way to the floor when I push it in). Sometimes it works to turn the key all the way off and back on. Sometimes I just have to turn the key from the "on" position to the "start" position again.

The lights are bright & it doesn't act at all as though the battery is low. This has been happening whether parked on an incline or flat. My guess is it might be the clutch, but I don't have issues shifting either.

My uncle looked at it a few months back and seemed to think I just wasn't pressing the clutch all the way in and maybe my seat was too far back. That is definitely not the case.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting. Here's how to replace it, if necessary:

Easy job.

Thank you! :)
