all of the other accessories turn on? do you hear the fuel pump whine when you go to start the car? i had something like you are talking about going on and i had the dealer replace the clutch pedal sensor (i am ASSuming that you have a manual.) for me that is what it was it was a pain in the a$$ it would start 60% of the time and the other times all the guages would come on but no crankover.

Good luck

Why $1800? Isn't it covered under warranty? If you did pay and you find out it's something else I would ask for a refund.
