When ignition switch is in start position no power to exciter wire at starter solenoid. This is a manual transmission vehicle is there a start inhibitor switch? I just bought this vehicle yesterday.

Yes, it has one in position #14 of the fuse box. The wiring diagram is about impossible to follow but I suspect the clutch switch supplies trigger ground to the relay.

On the clutch pedal bracket there are 2 empty holes, only switch I see is on the brake pedal.

Then maybe it was removed but that's where it was. The wiring should be there somewhere.
