Car wont start
Ok man I am stumped. So I was driving the other day and got to my destination and once I got there I realized my clutch was stuck to the floor. So I already had this problem before when I first got the car And had to replaced cluck master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder. So I had lifetime warranty on the parts. Replaced the clutch master cylinder and the clutch got pressure and works fine but now my cAR won't start on its own. When doing to master cylinder job in removed the air intake, battery, and of course the clutch master cylinder. Once I put everything back in and clutch was fine car would not start. I have a alarm, and key immobilizer, both are working fine, cross jumped the starter and it is working fine, I am able to push start the car but who wants to do that all the time, also replaced the inhibitor relay And checked fuses. when I turn the key you can hear the fuel pump cut on but the car will not turn over seem like when I turn the key there is not powe going to the starter at all. I'm stumped someone please help. O the other thing I dought has anything to do with this when I first got the car I replaced the clutch master cylinder the clutch slave cylinder and put in a stain less steel braided line and bypassed the damper and removed original clutch line. So this time when I was doing the work I bent the damper because it's not connected to anything I don't think thag has anything to do with it but who know. Someone help.

Make sure the pedal is going down far enough to push the cut out switch (half way down the pedal lever when fully depressed). It's the switch that lets the car start only when the clutch pedal is depressed. If you adjusted the new master differently, it could be bottoming out before letting the lever push the switch.
The switch is adjustable.

Thanks Derrick2k2SE. Your post really helped I thought that could be it but didn't know where it was. So I looked it up and finally found it and turned out that the plastic piece that gets pushed in to deactivate the lock broke off. I probably broke it when I was connecting the clutch pedal to the new master cylinder. Anyways I pushed something in there and it started right up. Looked at autozone and the part is only $17.99 so I'll get that soon in the mean time at least I don't have to push start anymorE. But thanks againDerrick2k2SE. First reply first answer.

Good deal, glad to help.
If you unplug the cable going to the switch you can bridge the connection (on the cable) with a piece of wire. That will let the car start without pushing in the clutch. No rush to fix it unless you're worried you might start it while in gear. You can drive it like that forever.
