Sounds like the starter


an NO you will not smell anything burnt! if its the switch!


BTW when it doesnt want to turn over try having someone try an crank it, an hold the key in the crank start position and try hitting the start with like a breaker bar ,hammer etc and see if it turns or trys to crank then!
if yes get a starter!

if your car is 5speed SOHC I have a starter
