One quick thing you should check is the clutch pedal bushing. There's a clutch switch that is depressed when you depress the clutch pedal during the start-up procedure. They tend to rot and disintegrate, leaving a hole where it once covered, preventing the start-up procedure.

Pulled my hair out once this way until I taped a quarter to the pedal flange and called it a day.
I just checked today . . . my clutch pedal bushing IS MISSING. Feeling very hopeful that this was the problem, upon trying to start up my car, I realized that my battery was completely dead lol... Someone left my door cracked open a bit leaving the lights on. Once I get my new battery this weekend, I'm going to tape a quarter to it and hopefully call it a day too.
