Hello, I drive the car listed above SE model. I just recently had an issue with my car as when I drive the car and press on the gas, it ends up slow down really badly. For the solution I did to find out the problem I ended up getting one code which is : clutch position sensor. Since it’s a sensor I’m assuming that’s not the actual problem. It also does take time to start my car but it does end up working. What is this anyway? What is the cause of my car. Can someone help me please?

Can you give us the actual code that you are getting? It sounds like you may have two issues. If you have a clutch position code then this is most likely not the cause of your long crank issue. If the clutch position sensor is faulty then the engine would not crank. So you may be correct that this is not the sensor but if you get the code, we can get the actual testing and figure out what this is.

Here is a guide that will help with the hard starting issue:

Let me know the code and we can go from there. Thanks
