2010 1.6 Petrol - Toyota Auris starting issue. - mazda60

Hi,

My daughter has owned her Auris for 12 months and loves it.

Over the last couple of weeks she has had two or three occasions when the car has failed to start using the usual foot on the clutch technique.

The only way the car would start in these instances was to apply the foot brake at the same time as the clutch pedal.

I has asked this question of Honest John but only been told that it seems to be confused whether it is a petrol or diesel vehicle, but nothing more !.

Have anyone else had this sort of issue and give any advice on what to do if it persists.

Could I just be the very hot weather perhaps?

Thanks Mazda60.

May be something to do with the clutch pedal switch out of adjustment or intermittent in operation, in which case the brake switch takes over its function .

I’ve noticed with my Avensis that you do have to make sure the clutch pedal is flat in order to start it. Otherwise it’s possibly a accelerator position sensor.
