Problems starting the engine - Toyota Yaris Forums

Problem solved! I feel a little stupid, but I'm relieved, there was nothing wrong with my car, it was my foot :-) I experimented a bit and realized I wasn't depressing the clutch all the way. 5 mm made all the difference.
GO YARIS!

Hey Thomas bring back memories of you and your Yaris for the first time starting at the dealership?

Hmm, sounds familiar... I had my car a few days when i was having this issue (then again, I was also stalling my car kinda frequently as I hadn't previouisly owned a stick-shift). I was gettin very frustrated.

But now that I'm experienced (all of only 2 months to the day), I don't have this problem. (well, the starting at least... the stalling still happens on occassion when stopped going up a hill and I don't feel like redlining it to get it moving again......)
