Did it ever occur to you to charge the battery?
If you go to start the car and all you get is the rapid relay clicking sound its simply a weak battery.

Good battery connections? What is the voltage of the battery? What is the voltage when you attempt to start it? What is the voltage at the battery when the engine is running?

its electrical, nothing to do with the starter
The battery could just be bad.. bad cell or something. Or the alternator wasnt installed properly.

unhook the leads from the battery and connect the jumper cables to the battery leads and see what happens. Remove your battery from the situation.

batteries can be so dead that they cant be jumped

the neutral position sensor shouldnt matter, you can crank the car with it in any gear as long as the clutch is in.

If the clutch interlock switch on the clutch pedal went bad, it wouldnt even attempt to turn over.

Double check that the connection on the alt are secure. even the slightest loose connection can cause issues.

No Crank - Relay Control Module

Crank no Fire - Crank Position Sensor

No.... once started it would run fine.... though I think some may have reported random dieing....

Check your RCM solder joints first..... based on your description it dosent sound like the CPS...

This is not the CPS, sounds like it MIGHT be solder joint fractures on the Relay Control Module circuit board.

Pull the RCM as described in "How to relay control fix" and take a look at it. THEN, get back to us!

Well Disassembled The Rcm And The Solder Looks Fine But Im No Electrician. The Only Thing I Notice Is The Barbs Do Extend Past The Solder.
