As the title states, will it? My guess is yes, but want to double check because I know my clutch is getting bad (I feel like I don't know how to drive a stick because starting in first gear is so bad with clutch chatter).

I have a CEL but I was thinking it was for the o2, haven't scanned/checked the code yet, but will soon to see if there's anything else...

 

how is it not starting? is it spinning over?

 

no, the bad clutch shouldn't affect staring the engine.

 

as long as it's not seized up in any way it shouldn't.

 

yeah, I was also going to say if it isn't stuck to the flywheel too.

 

LOL


Do you not know how a car with a manual transmission starts/works?

 

Yes I do. I was having a moment and over-thinking things. Needless, I know the clutch is bad and chatters and just sucks period.

When it starts, it is barely doing so, it's slow to start and take a few more times than it should to turn over. And then once it turns over its like hesitating and I have to tap the gas a little bit...It is a starter problem then? It has a new fuel filter, is it time for a pump too?

 

no the clutch won't cause it too hesitate, that sounds like shitty plugs or bad o2 sensor.

 

that was "sarcasm" above...
