Anyways, it's an european 2007 model Yaris XP9F with the 1NR-FE 73kW gas engine. It has 14k kms, so it's practically new. I'm already noticing a big difference in engine responsiveness just by having added 1000 kms to it...

So... strange thing that happened... Tried to turn it on this morning and it wouldn't turn on. Electrical part turned on normally, just when I turned the key to start the engine nothing happened! It was -6 degrees outside... So I'm thinking... either there's some strange warming up phase that I don't know of... or the clutch sensor is not working very well... or I don't know...

I popped the hood to see if there was something strange in the engine compartment... like some burned cable or whatever... didn't find anything, so went back in the car, shifted into 1st gear, tried again and voilà, it started...

But what do you guys think it was? And where should I post this? I didn't find any "mechanical problems" section... and also... I bought the car in Germany, where I am living at the moment... but I don't know German at all :p so if someone could provide a link for the english version of the car manual that would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!

My bet is the clutch switch.
