Newbie with a few questions about 95 GST

[95GS-Tguy]

Hey, so today is the first day with my new car.

Some of the problems i need help with..

Starting.. It takes 3 or 4 times to get it started when cold.. what causes this? it doesnt even try to turn over... and apparently the previous owned got anew starter put on it...

Clutch is sticking.. it wont pop back out all the way.. previous owned said something about a master cylinder leak? and it seems to be leaking on the inside..

Some electrical issues like the interior lights coming on only sometimes when i open the doors.

If any one has a solution to these problems i would be gratefull.. this is my first turbo car..

Not sure if it matters or not, I would assume so or they would have made only one model. Start with the rod backed out so you can push the slave rod in with your thumb, turn one full turn at a time until you can no longer push the slave in. Once you hit that point back the rod out half a turn at a time until you can push the slave rod in. Tighten the locking nut and you should be good to go.

It is definitely the master cylinder and if i can make a suggestion, if i were you just because your dealing with it i would consider buying a steel braided line that runs from the master to the slave and replacing the slave just so you don't have to worry about problems like that for a long time to come. some times hard lines rot or puncture very easily and with this done the pedal will have a firm feel to it.

Also the oi on your valve cover could be a sign of a cracked valve cover or the seal for your oil cap on the valve cover.

The petal has a firm feel to it, it engages at the right spot but when i adjust the rod at any point i can still move the slave button thing.. until i pump the petal a few times then it becomes unable to push.. when you push the clutch it moves the button in the opposite direction.. i understand the video and i have tried this a bunch of times.. and still it seems to be getting worse each time i drive it. clutch is slipping more and more...
I think the clutch has adjusted it self so far out i cant push it in anymore.. but then again.. theres still room to push the button (about a fingers width) so i dont get it i think my clutch may be gone..

I havn't replaced the slave cylidner yet.. i have no money for that at the moment..
During this process i havnt bled the slave cylinder yet.. is this nessesary??

When you bleed the system, you are bleeding the slave cylinder too. If it doesn't feel spongy then you probably have the air out. I am actually having the same problem right now... I thought I had of adjusted right, and a few weeks later it is doing exactly as described for the pump up phenomenon. I have to re adjust it tonight. Honestly, I think I'd rather have the throw be short than this damn pedal sticking to the floor periodically. It's like playing Russian roulette with your clutch in traffic.
