02 Accent - bad ignition switch??

check and clean battery connections, starter B+ cable, starter relay test or replace. a corroded or oxidized connection anywhere in the system will cause what you are describing. Relay contacts can burn out or become intermittent...This is not necessarily an ignition switch problem. Do not assume any part is good just because it "looks" good, intermittent is most difficult to troubleshoot. often helps to treat contacts throughout with high grade contact cleaner preservative. Such as CAIG Deoxit GOLD, which does not damage plastic.

It could, of course, be the ignition switch, but more likely culprits are the clutch switch you've mentioned, and the starter and battery contacts.
