Hard start issues plus it will not start if it is in gear.

Hard start issues plus it will not start if it is in gear.
1996 Maxima 5 speed manual.
As posted in the title I have a problem when starting the car. Does not matter if the engine is cold or hot.
I have changed the crankshaft positioning sensor under the pulley with a new one, because it would not start at all before.
I had the code on the scanner saying that it was busted.
The weird thing is ; when the car is in gear it will not start as much as I crank it.
Put it in neutral it starts but not quick.
I have the EGR code popping up also so it might have some issues there with the hard start but I have no clue why it will not start when it is in gear
.
Did anybody with a manual had this problem or have any ideas?
BTW where can I find the second crankshaft positioning sensor near the trany, or better yet do manuals have that sensor?
I have a 4 months old ECTS so it is not that, one sensor has been changed. I have the grounding kit put on the car so I hope it's not an electrical issue.
Any help diagnosing this issue is greatly appreciated.

After some searching I found out that if the clutch is a bit too far gone or the master cylinder is not working properly the clutch does not completely disengage and might cause that issue with the car not starting.
A thing to think about. Will keep you guys updated.
If anybody has other suggestions ideas please do not be shy
