    Trouble starting

    So im about 95% sure the clutch switch is the culprit but just wanted to throw this out here and see if anyone else had an idea. My car hasn't been starting on the first try for a day or so and I've had to take the key out and push the clutch pedal in a few times to get it to turn over. Any other ideas besides the clutch switch? Anyway to easily disable this so I don't have to worry about the vehicle not starting before I get a switch ordered?

    I think the only way to disable that is to have your car coded.

    Is it more than likely just the sensor? or could it be something more expensive?

    Well I hardwired in a toggle switch in replace of the safety switch by tapping into the two of the three wires running off the harness for the switch. Now the car will not start without flipping that switch. Extra security measure Just have to decide where to put it...any suggestions?

    Get your car coded for clutchless start and no need for the switch.
