Hey,
Alright so this is a problem I have been experiencing lately. Sometimes I cant get me car to start. I push the clutch in, turn the key to the first position, everything turns on just fine, but when i go to tun over the engine it doesnt even crank. It happened yesterday and after the first try, I tried to crank it over two more times then waited a few minutes and tried again. This time it started. I'm thinking this could be a clutch problem or starter problem? I dont think its a battery problem. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

 

I've been getting a similar thing... I'm pretty sure the way to check the clutch sensor is to let the clutch out, and listen. Mine makes a different sound with the clutch out rather than clutch in. I'm thinking mine is the starter, but I have no idea...

 

^ search next time, prolly same problem i have, just try letting out the clutch half an inch or so from fully pressed down when starting the car, it's been working for me for the last few months with no problems

 

I saw that post... I still have that problem... I tried it the day after I saw your thread, and it worked like the first couple times, and after that, it was back to life as usual, where I had to wait and then try 3-5 times for it to start...

 

^weird, when mine happened it never worked no matter how many times i tried, only after i started doing the clutch thing has it worked fine.

 

im sure you guys are familar with the sound thats made when you try to start a car thats already on. sometimes i get that when i start my car and no i dont hold the key too long. this is why im leaning toward the starter. i had my clutch done about 8 months ago and i think they f-cked it up.
and thanks mitch i will try what you said. i apperciate the feedback

 

no problem,
my problem might be different from yours tho, cuz my car would make no noise whatsoever when i tried to start it, i just wanted to clarify that for you so you don't think that the clutch sensor part would be the main problem
good luck
