Start button takes its sweet time

It's an Auto.

My 2009 auto does the same thing on start up: thut-thut-thut-thut-thut-thut-VROOM! I've had the car for 5 years and its always started like that. The manual I test drove did the exact same thing. Start up takes the same amount of time whether car is hot or cold. It's normal. Its just what they do.

Very comforting to know, my car has never in the blink of an eye cranked upon me pushing the button.

That's a lot of thuts. I think mine has 2 maybe 3 thuts and a VROOM.
Manual, and I do have to bottom out the clutch.

I wonder if the clutch thing is an ECU thing that could be fixed or if it's some sort of mechanical switch.

I used to have this problem because I held the button down. Now I just give it a quick push and release and it fires right up.

There is a switch that is actuated by the pedal arm. Can't remember for sure if switch is wired to ECM or BCM. The FSM is your friend.
