Car won''t start - 9/9/2008 9:58:45 AM    Eggcellent   Posts: 23 Joined: 4/20/2007 Status: offline Hello Everyone,   My Car: 1992 Mitsubishi 3000gt SL   Issue: Car will not start without popping clutch. For the longest time I would just unplug the battery cables every time I stopped and turned the car off. Then when I got ready to leave, I would plug the cables and it would start, but sluggish start. Now, I unplug and plug the cables, but the car still won''t start until I push it and pop the clutch. I hear a click when I turn the key, but no ignition. Once it is on, it stays on until I turn it off. Then Same thing all over.   Anyone know what causing this to happen? Your help is greatly appreciated.   Last repair (ECU changed) Post #: 1

I changed the terminals, but not the actual cable. I was thinking maybe Alternator or starter since the car stayed on after I pop the clutch and start it. I am going to replace the battery and hope for the best. (in reply to dsm1990gsx) Post #: 3

If you changed the terminals on the safe side get your battery tested at auto zone. But I dout it is the battery. If you just here a click with no ignition starting its the starter.But on the other hand it can be the alternator draining your battery at the same time so check the both of them out. Sounds like alot but does not hurt to check them out. So 2 main things the alternator and the starter. But good luck bro I had the same broblem so check those out. _____________________________ I Got My Back Against The Wind Im Down To Ride Till The Sun Burns Out, If I Die Today Im Happy How My Life Turned Out.
