Restarting car after popping the clutch...

[PaidTimeOff]

hmmm, pretty sure that's what I do, but the engine doesn't turn over... I guess I'll try to pay more attention to what I'm trying the next time it happens.

Well, I don't mean to bag on your starting up skills. But sometimes when I'm not paying attention, I notice I don't push the clutch in all the way to start up the car. Could that be it?

Could be, but I'm about 98% positive the clutch was hitting the floor, especially since I'm desperately trying to get the car started back up. Like I said, never had this much trouble in any other manual transmission cars I've driven

Try putting your foot on the brake and the other foot on the clutch and holding them down when you turn the ignition.

I'm not sure about the Yaris, but my last car wouldn't start unless you were holding down both the brake and clutch at the same time when you tried to start the car. Hmmm...maybe it was that it wouldn't start without you holding down the brake but that I also always held down the clutch cause my car is almost always in first when I'm trying to start it. In any case, I just got use to that so now when I drive the yaris, I always depress the brake and clutch when I turn on the ignition and I've never had a problem trying to get it started out of a stall (which I've done many times, so I can sympahize with you about the clutch )
