when I turn the key on everything lights up on the dash but when I go to start it won't do anything. If I turn the key off and then right back on it will start up sometimes..other times I gotta do it about 3 times before it will turn over..then sometimes i don't have any troubles at all I have turned the key over and it won't start and I let out on the clutch alittle and it will turnover alittle and thats it.

 

Could be starter going out or bad connection to starter. How are the battery cables clean and tight?

 

My first thought would be internals of the key cylinder. Another thought is the clutch safety switch...especially if you say you can let out on the clutch a little and it cranks. A key cylinder change on my '99 was a pretty simple swap, and it wasn't terribly expensive, so that would be my first course of action. If it's wiring in the steering column though, be careful, because that's a huge rat's nest if you're not comfortable chasing wires.

 

mine did this and it was a faulty start tsb and has to be flashed...its been a year ago though

 

it started fine this morning..after work I tried about 10 times before it started..I had the clutch all the way down and tried to start it and I slowly let up on the clutch and it fired up.

 

That almost certainly sounds like the clutch safety switch.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION SWITCH
1. Disconnect switch 2-wire connector (2) attached to
pedal support bracket (1), under instrument panel
to left of clutch pedal.
2. Check switch continuity with an ohmmeter while
operating clutch pedal.
² Pedal Depressed - Continuity
² Pedal Released - No Continuity
3. If continuity is not present or always present,
replace clutch master cylinder.
