My Corolla was not always starting when I, put the clutch in and turned the ignition key. Having experienced this before in a different, Toyota I, had the dealer replace the clutch starter switch. It worked fine for a day or two. Now when I start up for the first time in a day I, may have to push the clutch in and out a few times than it will start? What do you suggest. Thanks

Take it back to the dealer and have him repair it free.

There are plastic backing plates that can break, these plates are part of the clutch switch adjustment, if they break, they can cause the adjustment to be off enough to cause a no start problem.
