clutch problems

[DSMKeg5]

I have a 1st gen. talon tsi and it will not start. The clutch feels as if it won't engage far enough to start the engine. Do these cars have any history of problems with the clutch or the sensoers in the clutch causing them not to start? What could the problem be?

Check to make sure that the clutch pedal is making contact with the switch behind it. If the switch is not being pressed in far enough the car will not turn on.

Even though I doubt the clutch is the issue, you can try disconnecting the plug near the top of your clutch pedal assembly. Disconnecting that plug will let start your car w/o depressing the clutch pedal.
