Car ran great....parked for the night and when I came out the next day...it wouldn't start.

It was not a dead battery or bad connection at battery. Lights work fine.

Car starts with clutch dump....

When listening to the motor and trying to start I hear nothing at all...no click no nothing.

Help me out?

What can I do to isolate the problem more....I dont have $$$ for a shop to do the work.

HELP,
Carole

It could be your ignition switch, try holding the ignition, perhaps for a minute or two. I had the same problem with my 1984 Daytona.

:flash: Did you check for a bad starter relay on the driver's fender-well ??

(I think it should be a rectangular shaped silver unit) maybe faulty!!

Also could be a loose wire going to the starter/or just the starter has seen it's days. :o

Are the battery connections/cables good and clean ???

Yes, these are good things to check as well.

check starter solinoid.
positive jumper wire to switch pole.
