It could be the clutch safety switch. Does the engine crank and not start, or is it not cranking. If it cranks, then no, it could not be the clutch. If it won't crank then you can climb under the dash and look for the switch that closes when the clutch is pushed all the way to the floor (big white plastic switch). This switch has two large wires going into it. You can unplug the switch and jump the two female connectors in the wiring harness that led to the switch. A large paper clip works, but don't let it touch anything metal while you're cranking the engine. If the engine now cranks and starts normally, the switch is bad and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps.

What could be the problem with a 1995 Mazda mx6 not starting?
I just had this problem with my son's 1996 Miata this past weekend. After checking the battery to make sure it had a full charge I tried to start it again. Finally, in frustration, I jammed the clutch pedal nearly to the floor, and the engine turned over. All this time I hadn't pushed to clutch pedal in enough to let the car start. This could be your problem too. It's a start, anyway.
Why wont your 1994 Mazda Miata start in park but will in neutral?
There is a switch that determines the clutch is pushed in before starting the car. This is a safety feature so that you do not accidentally start the car in gear, which will cause it to lurch forward and possibly injure the passengers or those around the car. This can be overridden by finding the clutch switch and permanently locking it down, or by cutting the switch out and soldering the wires permanently so they are in circuit.

Why Everytime you start my 1999 Mazda protege you have to push the clutch all the way down to the floor?
There is a switch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from starting the car in gear and killing someone. You should use your clutch anyways. Saves wear and tear on the starter and battery
