Damn, sorry to hear that was not the issue. When you say that it starts by jumping it, do you mean rolling and popping the clutch or so you mean jump starting the battery ?.

If the engine does not turn over then it is something in the starter and battery circuit that is acting up usually, If it was spark plugs the engine would still turn over but it might not fire up properly and you would have misfiring issues while driving.

I have the same issue. If i drive for a decent amount of time, turn the car off and then try to start it again within 5 mins it barely cranks like the battery is dead. Sometimes it wont start. Wait another 5 mins or so and it will start again. Jumper cables do help. I have my clutch switch bypassed.

Local alternator shop checked my battery and alternator, both work well. He said it is most likely the starter getting sticky when its hot.

So I still have the same issue. After driving it for anymore than 10-15 minutes and turn it off, it won't start. But if I let the car sit for a couple hours, it starts right back up no problem.

So far I've checked:
-Clutch Switch
-Battery
-Fuses

Sometimes I can jump the car, sometimes it doesn't even start when jumping it. I can push start it though.

I'm thinking of cleaning the MAF and checking the Spark Plugs next. Other than that, I can't think of anything else but the starter itself.

What do you guys think? any input would be greatly appreciated

When you try to start it, does it always crank over? Do you hear the fuel pump prime every time you turn the key to the 2nd position even when it doesn't want to start? If it always cranks over and you don't always hear the fuel pump prime, check the main/fuel relay.
