Its very strange for it to start up when you pop the clutch and unable to when using the key and cranking it over and it will not start. Sounds like an ignition switch but Do below 1st and get back with me

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

Check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter and the fuel pump and test the ignition switch
