Intermittent failure to start...

FearlessLeadr · 03-06-2013, 10:33 PM

OK, after pulling the clutch sensor switch, taking it apart, and putting it back together, the issue seems to be resolved. However, after looking at the internals, I don't know how the computer knew it was installed. There's no circuit components, just a simple disconnect. Hopefully this is actually the problem and not just the issue deciding to go away for a bit.

sub'd.... I have the same issue....

the same switch is also used to trigger SRM.

did any of you guys experience any sloppy shifts/SRM not doing its thing as expected when your clutch switch prevented the car from starting intermittently?

and for those who experimented with temporary fixes, did you encounter any irregular SRM behaviour?

Never had any issue with SRM....

my SRM issue turned out to be the Input Speed Sensor on the gearbox. It had some blobs of fine metal particles stuck to it (it's a magnetic flux type device).

Cleaned it up and shifting has never felt so good

cheers for the reply though

Hall effect sensors are notorious for failing after magnetic debris gathers on or near them....

Good find! Now swap out your tranny fluids to synthetic....
