Re: HELP!!! car won't start.

Switch B is for cruise control. You need a stopper for it too if you want cruise to work.

Thanks Zack and Ron...didn't have to do this after all as a penny solved my problem as well. I have never been so happy to find bits of broken rubber in my floorboard!

The switch is a safety feature to prevent a dangerous lurch if the engine is started with the transmission in gear. I'd recommend installing a rubber stopper or doing the hot glue trick.

Re: HELP!!! car won't start.

my 1993 del sol S 5 speed, didn't want to crank today.
i found out that the missing rubber on the clutch pedal, that turns off the kill switch is the problem.

thank you for your help
