I have a '95 Tercel, 4-speed manual transmission. The car has been running perfectly with no problems at all, not even intermittent ones. Went to go to work this morning, and it wouldn't start. It wouldn't even turn over. Turned the key and nothing. All electrical systems light up and are strong. Tried jump starting and nothing. Was able to push start it with the assistance of my neighbors and it ran strong. At least until I shut it off. Then nothing again. Any suggestions?

Do you have power at the small wire on the starter with the key in the crank position?

I don't know, I have no test equipment. I was able to push start it again this morning and took it to the Toyota dealer. The mechanic said it's the solenoid going bad. He said once it gets started and warms up, it'll continue to start. And it did exactly that. It started every time at the dealership.
