95 lx with a gsr swap. 180k 5 spds. Went on vacation for 1 wk. Come back and it wont start. Been parked fir 7days. New battery. Work fine before parking it. Battery test at 13v. Even auto oart store load test and said it was fine. All fuse are ok.. No blown. Check 3x to make sure. Thought starter is bad, bought new one to try. Wont start. Clean out ign switch. Wont start. Got volt to starter.. Even ran single ground wire from starter to battery and still nothing. Lights does not Dim at all. Turn headlights on, try to crank. No dimming at all.

Took main relay off too inspect. All solder joints are perfect. Main relay only 4 yrs old.
When I turn the key to start all I can hear are, fuel pump priming, main relay click one time. Then silence from there. No clicking, no crank noise. Im out of idea. I will have to try push start tonight and see if it will start. Its also snowing out too. *sigh*.

One thing I remember before I left was, I had to reset the srs light because I pull the srs fuse out by mistake thinking it was a spare. After resetting the srs light, I starts the car and it start find. Even driven for the next couple days before leaving.

cap and rotors are 4yrs old also. same for plugs and wires. Same for fuel filter. Did all this for the tune up.

Is the starter solenoid clicking once. You may not hear it if the hoods not up but it will click at the same time as the main relay. If so you're having the same problem as me, if not the try replacing the G3 ground

smell any fuel after all those no-starts? if not, i bet the motor isnt getting any. fuel pump relay is my opinion but hard to say with limited information. if the motor has air, spark, and timing, try to verify it's getting fuel...

No smell of fuel whatsoever. I will look at the g3 ground point. It was working perfect before I left it for 7days. Everything was running smooth. Where is the fuel relay?

Should the solenoid not effected with a brand new starter? I mean I can understand the stock but I even replace it with a new one. It got power, verify using multimeter.

Say, if I hotwire either or both of those Clutch Pedal Switches, would that mean that mean I wouldn't need to step on the damned clutch every time I start the car??
