Default help......hard time starting up the car. 1994 accord LX

I've got a hard time starting my car, and i wasa thinking that it could be my clutch or pressure plate because I have to pump it and then start it but sometimes it take more then just pumping the clutch.... and also my clutch fluid.

ok first off, turn off bold type.

year and trim level of your car would be helpful as well.

there is a clutch pedal position switch behind the clutch pedal, more than likely that had gone bad, and is either working intermitantly, or has gotten loose from its mount.

Have you noticed none of these newbies saying thank-you anymore? They just come in here and demand an answer. Like we're a freakin' Q & A service. How are they going to convince me to even WANT to help them?

I feel like saying "Just take it to the f'ing dealer man".

I would suggest checking the switch behind your clutch as well That went bad in my 4runner once and it would only work every now and then. Oh and do not be rude on here this board is here to help us all so being courteous and polite is just understood. Just my $.02

before you get all heavy into the diag stuff try some FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER along with intake/throttle body cleaner..... That cured my hard start immediately
