Default Clutch?

Ok so i just got done doing the 6spd conversion in my auto car. made sure all the wires were hooked up correctly, made sure all the plugs went where they were supposed to go...reprogrammed the pcm with an m6 tune...

the beast won't START!

it cranks like it really really wants to start...then doesn't.

my question is this...could an improperly bled clutch cause the car to not start? or would it be more likely that i don't have a ground hooked up somewhere....

???

It has nothing to do with the clutch.

It is either a wire somewhere or the pcm flash went bad.

the reason i ask is if the clutch isn't releasing the flywheel properly....wouldn't that mean the car won't start due to drivetrain lockup? i dunno...maybe i'm just too tired to think about it anymore....

my other line of thought is this....the switch on the front of the clutch pedal...the white one...is that supposed to be wired up to something? i thought it odd that i had no wires for that one...

yeah so...nevermind on my previous statment...

apparently, when you pull the starter, one needs to be careful to NOT pull all 3 wires out of the crank position sensor plug....

tends to not start....

Problem remedied and the Z driveth!
