Well, i dont have trouble starting my truck but...

I do have to turn the key to accessory mode, put the clutch in, then start the car, instead of just pushing the clutch down and starting the car.

If i just put the clutch in and try to start it, the starter doesnt turn...

Just wondering if this was normal or if my truck is special

Btw, it has always been like this since i bought it from the dealership where they did their routine used car inspection.

 

I can crank my 88 just by pushing the clutch down then inserting and turning the key.
If I use the Clutch Start Cancel switch to bypass the clutch switch, I have to turn the key on then press the switch then crank.
So, I'd guess there's something amiss.
