What does it do on our cars? Is it still like the cars of old where they'll try to lurch forward when you try to start them. Or if your foot is on the brake will the engine will stall and the starter grind? I know on some vehicles (offroaders) with hefty transfer low range transfer cases the starters had enough torque to start the car in gear on inclines..... Quote:
Also nothing can really go wrong if you didn't disable the clutch position switch, also if it's just continually cranking it will either time out or you can press it again to stop it or remove your foot off the clutch. In Auto FRS/BRZ you cant even turn the key to off unless your in neutral or park, so if something went wrong while driving you'd have to go to neutral first.....

I know I'm overthinking it. Just bugs me the same way being forced to wear my seat belt used to. Pretty stupid, actually.

Quick useless update. I fingered the switch a bit (giggity) and got a bunch of grime off of the outside of it. Seems to have fixed it for now, shrug.
Did also pick up one of these little guys: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Crescent...4CVS/205642160 4" should be short enough for me to get in there and break that nut when the switch finally dies. |

Last time this happened, it was definitely the switch. It got to the point where I'd have to sit there hitting the switch for a minute before the car would start. After the swap, it started flawlessly every time until now. The swap was done winter of 2016-2017 I think, so its been a bit over a year now. |

These new fangled spray cans have an adjustable barrel and a trigger, which makes them quite accurate … If you're concerned about overspray, just back up your target with an old microfiber towel. Remember, take a deep breath, exhale then slowly squeeze the trigger. Good hunting! humfrz |

The switch should be adjusted so that it closes just as the pedal hits the hard stop. This is the Toyota version of the manual.

They're so thin it's ridiculous. You're good as long as you don't get a metal-to-metal clank when you bottom out the pedal.

I like how the skip over removing of the start switch and retightening of the replacement lol. The bottom switch (with the blue end) is just the clutch position sensor used for cruise control, that one is easy to get to. Impressed they were able to get back there with just a normal wrench though, guess I just need to try harder. EDIT: One of the comments mentioned disassembling then packing the switch with some dielectric grease. I've thought about that before as well, glad to see it apparently works. |
