    wont start with key, will start by jumping starter..

    ok, im at my wits end.. my car wont start with the key, it was working fine stopped to get lunch and it wouldnt start again with the key.. i can jump it at the starter and it starts and runs fine.. i have power to the switch, when i turn the key it sends power from the switch, im now at the clutch switch which im not sure if it is a pos or neg for the clutch switch.. also my plug for the clutch switch only has 2 wires. (M/T) but has spaces for 3 wires.. i think i checked all the relays but im not sure.. i just want to drive my car.. im so streesed out with life i need to cruise my bad ass accord to destress... its not my daily, its my toy.. its what i use to get away on a fast road and use the 2000 watt amp and the 4 12's so i dont put a gun to my head... lol please help... i need to take that drive.. Thank you in advance for any help...

    Did the rubber bumper fall out of the front or back of the clutch pedal?

          its something between the key switch (which is good) and the starter (which is good)

                    From OEM manual:

                    Starter Relay by Paul Kemme, on Flickr

                    Did you put a new or used clutch switch in? You should have power to the BLU/RED wire at the clutch switch when you turn the key to START. With the plug disconnected, jump a wire across the two pins. If it starts with the plug jumped, then the switch is the problem.

                    The consequence of the plug in the pedal being missing it that it would allow you to attempt to start it with the clutch pedal all the way up.

                        When you say "either wire", to which wires are you referring specifically?

                        Did you check fuse #9 in the inside fuse box?

                            When you turn the key to START (should only be power to the BLU/RED wire)? Do you have power to the BLK/WHT wire on at the starter relay when you turn the key to START?

                            Looks like an error in the OEM manual. Another page shows the starter relay in a different location and identifies the first as the horn relay. Check the wire colors.
