No start, clutch switch or key pellet
In the five years I have had my car about five or six times I have had a no start, I have always waited 15 minutes and it always started on the second try. Until yesterday, I waited three times for 15 minutes with nothing. I had given up and was going to try a push start so had nothing to lose, started pushing cluth in and out hard, tried cranking a few times, nothing at first but after about 4 or 5 times, it connected and started like normal. Pulled in garaged, turned off, started right back, pulled key out, back in, started ok.
Is it more likely the cluth switch going out, shorting, not connecting, etc. or chance it could go back to the key pellet?
Any insight would be appreciated.

I had the same thing happen. I finally put a bypass in the clutch switch relay. Never happened again. By the way, they stopped making those a long time ago and the only one that I found, they wanted $247.00 for it and it originally listed for around $27 or $30.

Whatever you do B don't push start and try to jump in the car. You can run over your foot, and it is a baaaad deal. I almost did it one time, and then did a search, and saw some ugly photos of broken fet.
