Clutch/Starting

Doug2009Z

With my 2009 Touring Z, sometimes the car won't start when I push the clutch in. I'm not sure whether pumping the pedal or pushing the pedal in as hard as I can is fixing the issue. The fluid level is above the low line, but that was after a 20 minute drive home from work. This is my first car where pushing the clutch in is required. Does this sound like a switch going bad or a clutch issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

You also "might" be hitting the start button too quickly. Give it a leisurely push.

Also, if you have the fuse pulled for the steering lock, that affected mine greatly. Sometimes I push the button and nothing happens. I wait, then it starts. It's like it's taking a nap and doesn't wake very quickly.

Even though previous manual cars didn't require the clutch to be pushed in to start, it's always been a good idea.
