My 2007 Kia Rio5 manual transmission doesn't start sometimes. The battery and connections are fine. Sometimes it will turn over if I adjust the position of the clutch. How do I go about checking the clutch sensor switch, and cable?

You can check the clutch switch with a multimeter when it wont turn over make sure the car is in neutral ebrake on clutch pedal to the floor make sure the pedal is depressing the clutch switch there should be battery voltage to both the wires to the switch with the key in the start position.If there is only power to one wire bad switch.If there is power to both wires i would check and see if you have power to the little wire to the starter with the key in the start position.
