Starting issues- need press the clutch hard to get the spark to start

[Soccer85 0]

Hello all, 

 

I have a 2014 Chevy spark, manual transmission 94,000miles 

 

I am hoping this forum can shed some light on this issue my spark is having.  This is an intermittent issue, I took the car to a mechanic a couple months ago- they could not reproduce the issue. 
 

Every other time I start the car, when I engage the clutch the car does not start or even crank. I have to very firmly press the clutch hard to the floor to get it to start. 
 

I am hoping to gain some insight here as my mechanic is unable to determine the cause…. 
 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Although mine 2010 (India) don't have any requirement to press clutch but I do follow this as safe way. May be there it's interlocked, I mean for ignition pressing clutch is necessary, to avoid mishaps if it's already left in gear. Assuming above, I feel there could be a sensor/switch which is worn and need replacement.

I am just assuming above, based on such interlocking in my bike. It doesn't start if it's left in gear untill I press clutch. I never tried this in car.
