2006 WRX woun't start sometimes

[mira4581]

Hi guys, I got a little problem with my WRX. It does not start sometimes. All the lights come on but it just does not start. I have a feeling its the clutch pedal or maybe a spring, after I press the pedal like 20-30 times it starts fine. It does this about once a week. I had to replace a battery 3 weeks ago and they also checked my starter and the alternator and everything was fine. Does anyone know what this might be? Could this be something electrical?

Does it actually crank or just does nothing when you turn the key?

It does not crank, its like starting the car when its in first gear, the radio and all the electonics turn on but nothing happens. It feels like that safety feature is on. But after I press the pedal really hard and all the way down 20 times it starts fine.

Clutch switchey thing a ma bopper...

Check the switch that your clutch pedal activates. This switch is in place so you dont start your car while its in gear and jump into something in front or behind you ...
