So i drove my car to and from work the other morning and had no problems starting up. All of a sudden when I got home and left the car sitting for a few hours, went back out and the car wouldnt start.

All I can hear is the clicking of the starter relay. I looked into the forums and tried the following. I disabled the clutch switch, still wouldnt start, next i removed the anti-theft relay and still wouldnt start.

Does this mean that the starter relay itself is bad? Or could this possibly mean I need a new starter.?

Thanks,
Robby
 
Yea the battery shouldnt be dead after you drove it, especially after that little time. Altenator would be a good start
 
do u hear anything at all when you try to start it? a click or n e thing .. if u can put the car in neutral jump a wire from the starter post to the small wire or where the small wire go to ## starter.. does it start? if u have a multimeter or volt meter i could help u a bit
