Question
i have a 95 cavalier that will not start by the key, but you can pop the clutch or turn the key off and by pass the starter but it will not start if you turn the key over.  It has new plugs and wires and was starting fine all day then all of a sudden it just stopped starting.  it sdoesnt even click like it wants to start, but battery is fine.  Please help i just bought this car and it is causing nothing but problems and a big financial burden.

Answer
Hello Juanesa;
            I wonder if you cleaned the battery terminals off, are thet dirty ? and  are you shure that the battery is ok, did you check it with a meter ? at times the battery can seam to be ok as it will turn on the lights and radio
but will not start the car. and if it turns out to show that the battery is good than it could be the starter or selonoid.but I would first test the battery  ok
