Just tried the micro switch. 1 holding it down... nothing, and then i used a wire to jump the two posts and still nothing so this seems to be good.


So Summary:
- Doesnt start, no click or noise what so ever, all interior/dash lights work fine
- If the starter is jumped it will attempt to start but wont fire (acts like dosent get gas)
- Ruled out ignition switch (mechanical and electrical), battery and clutch microswitch

Possibilities:
Immobilizer, key?, ground wire? (although i checked all the ones i could find),

Prior to problem:
-Engine was replaced, then worked fine for a few weeks after new engine was put in(started first time everytime)
-Ignition mechanical switch was bad, wouldnt spring back after started
-Before the engine replacement everything worked as should with the starter just didnt fire
