hi, i have been having a strange problem lately i have not driven my car for about 2 or 3 weeks although i do start it every week and warm it up to operating temp (to me thats between 190-200 degrees), in any case the engine will turn over fine when the start works but the starter sometimes does not turn, i have to turn the key about 8-12 times before it will start/starter will turn, i think it has something to do with the clutch switch getting stuck in the up position, when i sometimes kick the clutch pedel a couple of times, it will help with the starting, anyone got any clues what i should do? could it possibly have something to do with the hydralic system?

 

Sounds like it might be the clutch switch, since the car won't start unless the clutch is fully engaged.

 

yeah i kinda though so. i drove the car and then shut it off, i then started it up 2 times more to see if it would start, each time letting it warm up, it seems to start right up now. i guess i gotta oil that switch or something.
