Car starts sometimes but other times doesn't Sign In

Okay I have a 2005 pontiac vibe its a standard not an automatic. About 3 weeks ago it didn't wanna start out of nowhere. Lights came on, it clicked it just wouldn't crank. My fiance pumped the clutch for a good.minute then it started. Worked fine after that. Then a few days ago it did the same thing, but took a bit longer to crank. Then when we got home and tried it again it cranked right back up. We changed the clutch switch, bled the line, my fiance checked the starter. Any ideas? There is no check engine light or anything on.

The only way to find this problem is to follow a wiring diagram WHILE THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT.

Anything else is just guessing and throwing parts at it and that is costly. Make sure you check the battery terminals first.

Here is the wiring diagram
