Mr.2jz-GE · 10-04-2010, 09:10 PM

So my brother officially got a 1995 Eclipse GS with turbo[ (99) Engine ]and we have to pop the clutch each time. We were told the ground is bad.. any good reliable shops?

**Got Insulin?** · 10-04-2010, 10:26 PM

What do you mean pop the clutch? You mean like a push start? What is the actual problem?

Mr.2jz-GE · 10-04-2010, 11:27 PM

we have to push it and get it started. told the ground was bad...?

OverBoostedEvo · 10-04-2010, 11:30 PM

The ground to what? Take a wire straight from the starter to the battery n see if it starts(make sure cars is in the neutral and all please)

bl@ckvr4 · 10-04-2010, 11:36 PM

Just bypass the clutch safety switch. Takes 20 minutes to do and is a piece of cake.

EklipzGSXkid · 10-06-2010, 10:38 AM

If you ever need the car fixed, You can bring it to my garage in Hazleton Pa, 18201. I work on them every day, And always have people dropping their cars off from all over pa/state.

Mr.2jz-GE · 10-06-2010, 10:36 PM

Thank you for all your support, i will diagnostic this weekend and will share the experience

jpalamar · 10-07-2010, 08:52 AM

Make sure the starter has power and make sure the switch at the clutch pedal works.

Mr.2jz-GE · 10-07-2010, 10:36 AM

another side note when we push nt it starts no problem what so ever.all electronics work not a single dim in lights

knochgoon24 · 10-07-2010, 12:07 PM

I'd check the starter. My friend's had trouble starting. He took it to Advance and they found the starter was trying to draw twice the amperage it should have. Totally dead.

Mr.2jz-GE · 10-07-2010, 10:03 PM

when you try to start it Completely nothing (engine doesnt even turn or nothing) at all lights work radio and headlights. Just found out it had a old aftermarket alarm system, but even with that activated it wouldnt start right?

EklipzGSXkid · 10-07-2010, 11:00 PM

Did you try to disconnect the clutch safety switch like post #5 said? I have someones car in my garage right now (auto to manual swap), And they had the clutch safety switch wired in and it would not even crank. I d/c the safety switch and it is now better. Complete mess, Replacing the entire engine bay harness now.

Mr.2jz-GE · 10-08-2010, 09:51 AM

where is the clutch safety?

Not trying to sound like a d*ck, but perhaps on the clutch pedal? I know the brake switch is on my brake pedal.

HEY HEY HEY ! NO NEED TO BE MEAN!...but i was just asking to make sure, You just cut it? but you never know it could be somewhere else... =D its like saying is the power steering on the steering wheel?

**Big_Jim** · 10-08-2010, 10:51 AM

Sorry if it came off mean, I didnt mean it to. Im assuming when the clutch is pressed it closes a circuit on that "switch." so in theory (i may be/am probably wrong) you could disconnect the switch and tap the 2 wires together.

Edit: found a video that might help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1STI1Tw8ZI
