Asked by WoodPeddler Mar 10, 2019 at 04:33 AM about the 2008 Toyota Matrix XR

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Manual transmission.

History:
For awhile it would do this occasionally but if id
pump the clutch (maybe affecting the safety lock
out? ) it would then start fine.

Now theres almost nothing.  Even while boosting.  
Turn the key to acc position and nothing but a
check engine and oil light and security light.  No
other dash lights. No headlights.   Dead.

Got er figured out Multiple problems. No dash lights= master fuse blown After that was fixed it would start but wouldnt rev past 2000. Anyway the fuse box had a lot of corrosion in it b/c a splash guard had come off. Fixed the multiple corroded fuse connections and the throttle smartened up. Then the occasional no start issue was still there...turned out to be the ignition switch.
