Default Good News and Bad News-No Start

Well the good news is I fixed the Vacuum leak....the bad..I am getting the no start. I originall ythought it was the battery, once replaced the car started right back up. Then this week with the new battery I go the no start again. The battery is showing 3.68AMPs and 12.42 volts when tested with a Fluke meter.

I notice that when I push in the clutch there is a volt drop...but not sure that means the Clutch relay is working or not.

I am guessing starter, any other guesses? Ignition switch?

1. Jumper out the Clutch safety switch.
2. Replace Starter relay under dash.
3. Install my patented "Dreaded No Start Cure".

Would I be seeing a voltage drop when I depress the clutch if the relay/switch was bad? Car started right back up when I went out again.

Any opinions.....

Ive got a write up at home on how to jumper out the clutch switch, I'll post it when i get home. it's very simple and just like pulling the LTPWS it's something you should do

Replaced the starter no more issues, Marc Haibeck agreed with me that if when the clutch is pushed in, the voltage drops, switch is fine.

We will see if I get any issues later.
