So, left my car running for a little over an hour one day. came back, turned it off. when i tried to start it back up nothing. Heres where im at. My shift clutch cable from the steering column to the clutch is shotty but ive rigged it before. (that issue was the car not turning from on to off. car would be stuck on, the cable was jamming, its usable now.) my clutch with the key on will not shift from park to anything, on the transmission case, the shift column i can force from park to reverse, but its tight and doesnt really want to, even in reverse, the clutch doesnt move from park. the car will not start. i am not getting spark to the plug, ive traced it back to the crankshaft sensor. it isnt getting voltage it needs to allow the ignition coils to jump. so ive got a car that now will not send voltage to the cps and will not shift. i know they have to be related. almost as if it thinks its stuck in a different gear and doesnt want to start. but locked itself up thinking it was shut off in park. its definetly something new and very obnoxious. anyway for me to atleast override the clutch so i can roll it home? (no i havent yet pulled the cable off to shift the transmission manually to neutral. not sure my brakes will like it or if the cable needs to be moved to neutal to allow a brake release) again, this is quite a strange issue.
