Starting problems I seem to have picked up a starting problem over the last couple of weeks.
The first instance was I was writing a new calibration to the PCM. Pump wouldn't prime. I pulled some fuses, waited an hour and it started right up.
No further problems until the clutch, slave, and TO bearing were replaced a few days ago. Fuel pump primes, all the cluster lights are normal (except they plugged my dead coolant level sensor back in, so it'll come on). Sometimes when I turn the key I just get a click from the engine, but it doesn't even attempt to turn over. If I flick the key back and forth from stop to start multiple times, it has decided to start at random.
I tried both sets of keys thinking it might be the pill - no change. I wonder if they did anything with the clutch pedal. If that clutch release button on the pedal is at the wrong height, making the car think it's not depressed, would it exhibit those symptoms?
