Default Seat sensor in C5?

I was curious does anybody know if there is a seat sensor in the drivers seat that senses the weight of a driver sitting like some of the 90's astro vans. From time to time I notice if I'm not fully down in the seat such as pushing in the clutch on a hill and trying to start the car it will begin to run and immediatly stall. At first I thought maybe I wasnt pushing the clutch in all the way. Or maybe I'm nuts anythings possible. Thanks

The only sensor in the seat is for the seat belt. Anything else going on with the car is either in your head or an engine problem.

Thanks I was not sure if it had a sensor or not. I knew GM did this with other vehicles the same way they use a load cell sensor in the seats today to determine the weight of a passanger to decide if an air bag should be shut off automatically for a child not weighing over a certain amount.
