2013 6mt - won't crank??

darkphantom · 08-12-2015, 09:34 PM

So I've had the RJM Clutch pedal on my car ever since I bought it, but today it wouldn't crank!

Kept saying push in clutch, which I did several times, but no go! I had to pump the clutch a few times for it to finally detect it. Any idea if the RJM Clutch pedal is affecting it? Someone said to check the clutch return spring.

I posted this in the tech section in the RJM pedal thread for a more technical answer but just wondering if people have experienced this?

Does the weather have anything to do with it? It has been 104+ every day here in Atx...

Push start> goes into ACC mode but keeps asking me to push clutch in, which it is, depressed all the way!

When it did finally crank, I drove it like normal - no hiccups.

Make sure the pedal is hitting the clutch switch

Yah, maybe clean the sw too.

The bottom clutch switch button is probably loose or not adjusted right. Look there first

My buddy Beemaz had similar problem with his rjm pedal, maybe you should send him a pm to see if he can help.

Looks like the switch is coming in contact on engagement, so that isn't it. Luckily, though, cranked up just fine today. Did it about 6-7 times with no hiccups.

Hmm maybe your ECU sensors to the clutch switch were on vacation yesterday? and decided to come back early

Like zBrah said I would hit up Beemaz and see what he has to say about when he fixed his problem like that

Blah, this is so weird! It seems to have come back, two days in a row. I just pump the clutch a few times and its back! I need to check the fluid to make sure it is topped off...might take it to the stealership to see what they say.
