Help please; NX only starts when pop started.
Just bought a nx2000 and it won't start unless its pop started. I replaced the starter already with a brand new one. Chased the ground wires and made sure everything looked like it was grounded properly, still no dice. Ive check the fuses in the fuse box also.

The people who sold it to me said they thought it was the ignition switch? Do all b13s have the same ignition switch- could i get one from the junk yard from a non-sr20 car?

The car powers up and can here the fuel pump kick on an all that but won't actually crank over or click. When you hit the key you get nothing. anyone had this problem before? let me know thanks.

Check to see if the rubber grommet on the clutch pedal that engages the switch when you push down the clutch pedal when you go to start the car.

Go under the dash and press the nuetral safety switch and try to start the car as everyone says. If not, then try the ignition switch

Super easy! Pull the plug from the switch, cut and strip the two wires and connect them together. No need in pushing the clutch to start anymore. Yeah!!!!
