Hi,
mm its either turning over and wont catch or wont do anything at all. if it doesent do anything at all then clean your battery cables and check your connections around the solenoid, its a little round switch box that the heavy cables run to by the battery. if it turns over but wont catch and start then look in the trunk on the drivers side behind the cardboard for the fuel pump collision cutoff switch and reset it and check the wiring connector there. check the owners manual for the exact location of that shutoff switch. Its in the trunk for sure though..

hi,
woops I jumped the gun again. make sure its in neutral and in park and then try and jump the solenoid with a piece of wire, go from the small terminal on the solenoid to the positive battery post. if it turns over then your neutral safety switch, ignition switch , or clutch safety switch is shot. if it wont turn over when you jump it then its the solenoid or the starter..sorry for misdiagnosis earlier..jm
You cables going from the solenoid to the starter may be bad, or your starter is just shot. Not to sure without actually being there.
