Could replacing the ignition have something to do with that?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

thank you i tried what they said on the video and the fuse is there and good. One thing that i was wondering in the video is the guy said " is missing a 7.5 fuse them he puts one in and wallah it turns on but if it was missing how was it running before the problem occurred.
Im still with the problem.
How can i bypass the clutch switch?
The guy in the video has a fuse problem but you don't. Btw, what you replaced was indeed the ignition switch (full of electrical contacts inside) and not the key tumbler, which is very expensive and it seldom fails.
To bypass the clutch switch, just remove the two wires from it and bridge the two wires with a metal paper clip.
When the no-start condition occurs, jump the clutch switch first and see if you can start the car. If you can, that means the clutch switch is bad. If you still can't that could be the ignition switch, or the start lock relay, or the starter. All needs (much) further troublshooting. See posts #12 and 32 in this thread

Well i went home today and immediately checked the clutch switch i took a paper clip and jumpped the switch and wallah!!!! Problem fixed she starts !!!!!! Thank you all for the great advise and help!!!!
I'm just luck this time. Could have been the ignition switch also. However, usually you will see more weird issues when the ignition switch goes and not just a silent no crank.
Thank you once again i also replaced the ignition and now the car runs alot smoother and i havnt gotten a cel for missfire cyl #2. Could replacing the ignition have something to do with that?
Q: I kind of like the car being able to start with out using the clutch if I leave it the way it is, would that harm the car in anyway or is it better just to get the part and fix it?.
It's unlikely the new ignition switch affects cyl#2 mifires.
Bypassing the clutch switch is fine but it's a safety feature to prevent you from accidentally cranking the engine while the car is still in gear and clutch not pressed, which may hurt the starter and the car if it hits something.
Cool and thank you for all the help, but before I change the ignition (tumbler) I was getting cel 0302 all the time like once a day or sometimes seeral times a day. luckily I have a Cel code reader and eraser.. lol so i was able to reset it. but since I put the new ignition (tumbler) and by-passed the clutch I have not gotten a cell for misfire cyl #2...
in several days now and its actually idling a lot better
