car will not start without being hooked upto another battery like it's being jump started, and when I push my clutch all the way down to the floor my car starts with out turning the key. (the key is in the on position though) also once the car is running if the clutch is pressed all the way to the floor their is a grinding noise and the car stalls out. and on the dash board the brake and fuel cut out lights always remain lit but there is no other dashboard light (even with the head lights on).

i'm prepared to guess they weren't gapped ideal. If the hollow isn't superb suited, you will get the coolest indicators you're describing, as properly as others. verify the hollow once you're able, if no longer take it to a keep. they might even do it for unfastened, even nonetheless that is rather no longer that perplexing. Get a 5/8's Spark plug socket, a three/8's force ratchet and extension. positioned the socket on the plug, and turn it gently. try this while ENGINE IS chilly. do no longer do it while the engine is warm. i won't be able to recollect if the ninety 3 is the 2000 SPI or no longer, yet while the pinnacle is aluminum and you attempt to unthread them you will reason severe and irreversible thread injury to the pinnacle. Spin them out, and verify the hollow. you will discover the excellent suited hollow on the Catalyst sticky label below the hood, or on your proprietors instruction manual. i can just about guarentee they have been gapped incorrectly. solid luck

i own a repair shop,and what you have happening is almost impossible for any vehicle to do unless the ignition switch has shorted out on it,i been at this for 36 yrs,and i haven't seen one do this yet,i have seen them not stat when the pedal was mashed in because the safety switch was bad,but never do like yours is doing,you need to check the ignition switch real good ,because if the key is not on,and it is getting fire to the ignition circuit on it,it could catch on fire and burn up,,this means there's voltage on the ignition at all times,and this would also kill the battery,have it checked,,and see what they say about it,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Try looking behind dashboard component for fried words. Also try checking behind the engine for fried wires.
