started car and took awhile to . . .
all right. .well this afternoon after school i put the keys into the ignition and started it. . all it did was make the regular sound before the car started. . . soo i do this once and im wondering wtf. . . soo i try again and push farther down onthe cluth. .and it still wouldn't start. . . SOO i waited for about 3 minutes. .and tried a third time. . it started. . . .after like 4 seconds. . anyone know whats the problem?? I'm coming up to 15,000 miles. . . .ALSO the clutch. . anyone know how to tell if their clutch is worn out???
I had somethin like that before but the car wouldnt turn over at all. But it was last winter. I think it was the starter it was like to cold, but I poped the hood and then droped it then it started up. It always happened in the winter. And the clutch when its worn out it wont realy move or accelarate with out having it start with high RPMs.

how much gas was in the car? because if you have a almost empty tank, it takes longer for the car to pressuize the gas...[hr]

I had the same problem a few months ago but I have an Auto, scared the hell out of me because I was out of town and it wouldnt start for me, come to find out that it was just the positive cable terminal wire was loose.

I've noticed this being true too. if you were low on gas, this could have caused your problem...
