Help! no start - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Drove car to dinner. Started great, ran good. Got out of dinner, turn the key fuel pump runs, dash lights up, no solenoid click and no start. No tools. What do I try first?

Since you have fuel pumps working - Are you able to try push start ( 2nd gear)?

Clutch safety switch? Try pumping the clutch pedal.

Some guys from the club pushed me and she pop started right up in 1st gear. Got it home in garage. Now to figure out why the heck it did it....
I pumped clutch hard into stop several times, security light went off when door shut and key on, beats me. Started right up after sitting a couple weeks, drove 5 miles to dinner, in there bout an hour, came out unlocked door with key, key in ignition, turned on, everything worked except nothing when turn key to start. No click no nothing.
Just now shut it off in garage and it started right back up. Twice. Now I'm afraid to drive the damn thing......

it's probably the clutch switch. there isn't much you can do now other then let it cool down and then jump it out later. Used to happen to mine all the time till I jumped the switch

done my friend

Thanks. I didn't want people wondering if I was ok.

I guess I have some reading to do now in the solutions section so I can track this down. I may just start with a new battery and go from there... Not sure if I can fit in where the clutch switch is to mess with it.

BUT - just in case - does someone have a part # and or link to where I can get another clutch switch that is better? If I manage to get in there I would probably just change it..

don't bother changing it, just jumper it out. it's better in the long run. move the seat all the way back take the roof off and get your kids to do it
