I have to pop the clutch to start my car

[k20ej8]

ok so i bought a brand new starter and it still doesnt want to turn over, i pop the clutch and it runs. When i try to crank it, no clicks, all lights come on.

could it be a bad brand new starter? clutch switch?

reps for help asap

Doesnt sound like any of those, check your grounds, and wiring at the starter.

x2 on the grounds..and still could be your battery..GL

[project_EM1]

it could possibly be a bad alternator

[J-ROCK]

if it dont click then its the ingnition! try turning the key to the on position and then get a wire and wire the starter and touch it to the battery if it starts then its your ignition had mine go out on my 95 civic

Keep on starting it the way you are.... and you will fuck up the alternator.

Roll starting your car will not harm your alternator. Check your power wires at the starter, the biggest wire will always have 12v+ from the battery. The smaller wire goes to your starter solenoid and will have 12v+ when your key is in the start position. Start by checking power at both of these wires and ensuring your engine block grounds are good.

Sounds like the button on the clutch pedal is broken/gone. Put a nut and bolt in its place. :goodjob: If not...clutch switch.

i have the same thing happen to my car, on rainy days and on super hot days, its
MAINLY either the wiring going to the starter or relay

this happened to my buddy in his rsx s
he took over the payments for someone else..and was actually paying the guy rather then paying directly to nalley acura
when the guy stopped making payments, nalley somehow shutoff some shit on his car to where my friend couldnt start the car with the key. repo man couldnt get his hands on the car cuz my friend would dip every time or bring out a shotty

lol we had to push the car and pop the clutch to go everywhere LOL

[DEL_SLOFTW]

Mine did the same thing. Ended up being the wiring going to the starter.

Yeah both of my cars and my brothers car lately have done this. I guess the plastic has an expiration date lol.

But I'd check that, the main relay, and the ignition switch.
