i some(most)times have a hard time turning the car on. it just clicks and does nothing.

its either a bad clutch switch, bad ignition switch or bad starter...which is more likely to fail?

If it just clicks then check your battery connections. They could be loose or dirty. I bet $5 thats whats wrong.

mine does that alot too. new starter from Mazda, clutch switch, and ign. sw. ****** still does it. I'll bet it won't be the battery connections.

In my case it's just got to be alot of resistance in the main starter wire. Someday I'll fix it.
