Moved your post. Read posting rules and follow.

Have you checked the starter relay on the driver's side kick panel?

If relay is good, somehow the clutch interlock switch is not mechanically closing to enable the starter relay, or there is a cut wire in the clutch interlock circuit.

good luck

Check for 12V start signal on the small wire to the starter. From your description, 12v signal must be missing, which indicates problem in keyswitch start circuit.

good luck

Ramp crawler,

What exactly did you do to fix your problem? I'm having a similar problem.

there are 4 nuteral switchs around the dash. the one that went bad on mine was under the dash. laying on my back looking up youll see a plastic connector attached to a switch. the plug is yellow, once i removed the plug I hot wired it, little wire conneting the 2 holes and the car started, i havent replaced it yet so if i turn the key without the cluch pushed in the car jumps. hope this helps
