My car didnt turn on todayi pushed in the clutch but the car wouldnt allow ignitionthe past few weeks, ive had to press the clutch a bit hard or press it 2-3 times till the car "realizes" that its ok to allow ignition.

now what exactly is this mechanism and how do i go about finding it/fixing it

thanks!

Check the back of the clutch pedal and see if its making contact with interlock switch. Just press the clutch down and ull see what I'm talking about.

Or just override it so u don't have to press the clutch to start car anymore, like me!

Already tried. It's not the clutch interlock switch.

I bet my money its the Relay that srpowered had problems with.

Wow that sucks, that's the most expensive one of them all too.

Time to hit up the hookups thread!
