    Hi
    I am having trouble cranking my '97 (manual) Hyundai Elantra. Th
    battery is 100% and all inside electrical works (radio,lights, doo
    chime, etc..) The car will crank if you pop the clutch but otherwise i
    will not crank - no clicking- nothing. I have tried cranking in neutra
    & first gear with the clutch engaged.We have replaced the nuetral safet
    switch. Any other ideas or help is greatly appreciated

    Can't say for sure about the '97, but the '01 Elantra I once owned
    wouldn't start without the clutch depressed (disengaged). I would guess
    that your '97 is probably designed to not start with the clutch engaged,
    as my '01 was.

    What do you mean by "pop the clutch". That term has a meaning and it is
    inconsistent with what you are saying. To pop the clutch is to release it
    by just taking your foot off the pedal.

    If you mean that it will only crank if you hold the clutch down - that's
    the way standard transmissions are these days.
