What steps should be taken before diagnosing starter problems on 2002 Mazda Protege?

Check battery charge and terminals/cables; then verify gear/clutch and connections. If starter spins but won't crank, replace it. If clicks/silent, jumper solenoid-if starter runs, fault is ignition/neutral switch/wiring; if not, remove/service starter. Slow cranking suggests battery, connections, partial seizure, or oil; use voltmeter to diagnose.
