Clutch Sensor?

[bakos24]

Ok, so last night me and my gf go to Dairy Queen, ate some ice cream and went to go leave. My car did not start . all power worked but it just would not start at all. I had to pop the clutch to get it started. I tried starting it a few times after and started right up. . Today I get ready to go to work and try and start it and it does the same thing, will not start. Well my Uncle said that there might be a sensor for when the clutch engages that makes it start and that it might be broke or need adjusted. Anyone know about this? or have any other ideas why it wont start. Thanks guys.

ther is a clutch starter switch under the dash on the clutch pedal asbly, I've never seen one go bad, but anything is possible. I would look to other sources first before replacing it. when you say "no start" did the engine crank over, make clicking nosies or what?

It did not do anything. It kind of made a slight click, but it was not that loud or noticable, seemed like it faded away, that only happenes when I first try and start it. All the lights and everything came on and that was it. Any ideas?

Those should be good. I just had the battery replaced a few months ago.

check to make sure the cable ends are tight on the battery termials then, if they check-out, get the battery tested anyway.

Cool, thanks I will do that. Any other itdeas in case that checks out ok. How about the starter, could that be going bad?

doubtfull, as the starters on these cars are pretty "bullittproof" as are the alt

well, I tested my batt and it tested good. Any other ideas?
