ok, so i left the windows down and it rained pretty hard. whatever. it ran fine all day and then i go over to a friend's house and when i turn the key, nothing. the battery is fine, the windows and everything work. the stereo comes on, the cooling fan... anyway i dont really know what the problem is. it has done this before but it always starts the second time. i thought it was just me not depressing the clutch pedal enough. anyway, let me know what you think. sorry if its a little brief but this computer is fooked and i dont know how long itll be before it owns me with pop-ups.

It's probabally something to do with the clutch switch still. There is a stupid little rubber/plastic thing that is supposed to be attached to the clutch pedal that actually makes contact with the clutch switch and closes the circut. I've had that thing deteriorate and get old and just fall out. Once it does, when you depress the pedal, the switch doesn't close and the car won't start.

Re: (float_6969)
Ha, I disabled that thing, all I have to do is turn it over. Haa, its great. Sometimes it just comes loose, or the extra piece that touches that on the back of the clutch pedal falls off and you cant hit the button anymore. Get under there and take a look at it.
