Well at first the solenoid on the driver side inner fender was clicking and the car wouldn't turn over. I figured it was a bad solenoid so I replaced it,
Now there isn't a loud clicking, a buzz comes from the solenoid now and the computer box thats on the driver side radiator side also clicks/buzzes, also the interior dash lights dim, that all occurs only when I have the clutch depressed and trying to start the car.

Dead battery, or more then likely a bad connection. Check all your grounds, and battery cables. I went through this at least twice a day. Worst case scenario, your starter took a crap.

Thought batt myself but I had a charger with me that said it's perfect and after trying to start the car who knows how many times over a 4 hour stretch it was still functioning fine. tonight I go back with a hammer and give the starter a whack :evilgrin: That better work.

I tried the hammer trick... didn't work for me. I just replaced my starter. It was pretty simple.

First, I would check all your connections. I don't remember hearing any buzzing. My starter went bad after a few months of it struggling to crank. I could tell it was about to go.
