After several attempts the car starts. Sometimes I hear the starter free spinning. Sometimes it just clicks. Sometimes I hear the engine turn over at the beginning but at the end the starter free spin. Please can you send me a wiring diagram of the starting system for my car because I know there is a starter relay and a clutch safety switch.

Thank you.

If your battery is in good shape and the cables are clean from corrosion, I would say the starter motor is bad. Here is a guide to help you change out the starter step by step with instructions in the images below to help you change it out in your car:
