Automatic or manual transmission?

We had an '88 Camry with a manual transmissions at one time, and the clutch start safety switch on the clutch pedal was kinda finicky, you had to push the clutch pedal down all the way as far as possible, or the car wouldn't start. I never bothered fixing it, as I figured it was a built-in anti-theft device. We just got used to it.

It can also be the Neutral Start Switch, if you have an automatic. It keeps the engine from cranking unless you are in Park or Neutral. It can get out of adjustment.
