Please help me. My 96 pathfinder only starts sometime's. It's as if there is either a problem in the ignition or the clutch. The battery is fine, I just turn the key and all the lights come on but the engine does not turn over. Please help

The clutch will have no effect on your engine starting. If it wont turn over try shorting your starter, if it starts, then it could either be a relay or the ignition switch.

The clutch may well effect the starter. On SOME cars there is an interlock so you can't try to start the car if the clutch is not engaged.

Get a manual on the car and see.

I had that problem. The floor mat got scrunched up under the clutch and it wouldn't start! Happened many times to me.

Have a 01 Nissan Pathfinder with 3.5 engine. Will turn over, but no start. Fuel pump working but no go. Thinking maybe a security issue, but don't know.
