Unhappy starting problem

I started my car today and forgot something inside. So I grabbed my keys and went inside (car has a greddy turbo timer). The timer cut the car off as I was walking out the door. I went to start the car and its acting like the clutch isn't engaged.

Sounds kinda like your having the common FD starting click. Does it just click click click then start or is it turning over and not starting?

Well, I just got home and reconnected the battery and viola, he cranks. I guess the turbo timer had a glitch or something crazy. Before I posted I disconnected the battery for a few mins. and tried again, nothing. So I checked fuses and such and couldn't find the answer there. So this is why I believe the timer was at fault lol

That wouldn't be the first time a turbo timer has caused mysterious starting/shut-off problems. Since they are (IMO) not necessary, the just add complication and trouble for little or no benefit.
