Problem after header install OK, this has happened 3 times now after my header install. I go to start the car (has happened cold and hot), push the clutch in and turn the key but nothing happens. It seems like the neutral safety switch is activated and not letting the car start. This morning I held the key in the start position for a few seconds and it started and one other time I turned the key back to off and then to start and it fired right up. Could this be a big coincidence (sp?) and maybe I need to replace the neutral safety switch? Or are my headers melting some wires somewhere and causing a problem. I did notice the headers are somewhat close to the starter wires but there isn't a whole lot I can do because they can't be moved. I think I'll find some heat wrap to try and help the situation. Any thoughts?
I'd be willing to be it is your clutch safety switch, my car does that every now and then. If it melted wires it would stay not starting, because it would blow the fuse.

I'm assuming the switch should be near the clutch pedal since the clutch has to engage it. Anybody know how much the part costs or if it's difficult to install?
