Need Help, Car wont start
Need Help, Car wont start
So i was driving home last night and i stopped at an intersection. I reached to the back of my seat to grab something and my foot slipped off the clutch, my car stalled of course because it was in gear. When i tried to start it back up it didnt even turn over. I push started the car and it ran fine for the 20 mile drive home. The battery is fine, my sound system, heater, headlights all work fine. I checked the starter today also its good. I also noticed there is an empty container under the hood where it says sub zero fluid. I dont know what thats about eighther. Someone have an idea of whats going on here?

check you +/- connections around the battery and starter.
that sub zero is nothing to worry about, injects 90/10 antifreeze/water in the carb when the temp is below zero or something crazy like that. just about everybody removes them.

I checked out connections and didn't find anything.
Then I jumped the solinoid and the starter worked. I used a test light to see if voltage was coming to the solinoid when the ignition was engaged and none there, except the battery side.
This makes me think bad ignition switch or maybe a clutch safety switch? I looked on the pedal, master and slave cylinder, and didn't see a switch, is there one?
Thanks again for your help!
