quite the interesting problem you have....

with you being able to pop start it fine, i would say the problem lays in the starting system...

i would first test the starter, out of the car, to see if the problem is there...

then i would test the ignition switch inside the car, and with a multimeter, follow the path the signal SHOULD take to deliver power to the starter to start the car... where you stop seeing power... the break is somewhere in that area...


good luck
