While driving home on monday, my clutch pedal went limp. I had to raise the pedal and step on it a few times before I could switch gears. I limped home and parked the car. I got out today to take it to get check out, but the car won't start up now. The clutch pedal feels fine. The car will not crank, no clicks, just the sound of the ignition springing back after I release the key. The electronics inside the car turns on fine. Any idea?

Check the switch on the clutch pedal assembly?

 

What am I supposed to be check for? When the pedal is engaged, it does push against the botton on the clutch switch.

Check continuity from the starter. See if you can power the starter and hear it spin.

Also check all ignition related components. Distributor, cap, rotor, ignitor, coil.

Check all clutch line, hoses, reservoir. Though you said it is fine now. Make sure it is not losing pressure anywhere.
