It can be a defective starter assembly that causes this problem. There are two parts to a starter assembly: the starter motor and the starter solenoid. The offending culprit is usually the starter solenoid, and it should be replaced.

if you turn your key and nothing happens just the dashboard lights come on that would be your clutch start switch. if you hear a grinding sound when trying to start vehicle or a humming sound that would be your starter.if the vehicle cranks fine but for some reason it won't start then you would look at the ignition system(spark plugs,wires,etc) as your first possible cause.
