you have a voltage drop problem

You say your battery is fine? How do you know? Have someone stand in front of the car. Turn on the headlights. Then turn the key. If the lights go out....more likely the battery is wasted. If the lights continue to shine brightly and yet you have tried to start it, the next area would be the starter solenoid.
Do you have to step on the clutch to engage the starter? Some cars are like that. It may be that switch is not functioning correctly.

If your lights go out when you turn the key it's probably a bad battery connection. If they sat bright it could be a bad solenoid or the neutral interlock switch is bad. Try starting in neutral instead of park. Somebody with a voltmeter can tell you what's wrong in two minutes.

The alternator might not be giving out power to start the car or the problem could be your ignition, or also it could be your starter.
