Further testing

OP here....
Today I was preparing to do some of the suggested diagnostics and I noticed that the engine would turnover if I depressed the clutch pedal into the carpet!!! The clutch interlock disengages on the last 1/2" of pedal travel.

But why haven't I ever noticed this in 10 yrs of Boxster ownership??? Well, I am just healing a serious foot problem that had me in a cast-like boot for 6 mo. My foot muscles and associated parts are weakened and recovering now. Perhaps I was not holding the clutch pedal all the way down????

I can't find a spec of this switch's operating zone... Would one of you guys check your car for me and report here if the pedal has to be pushed down the last 1/2" to allow you to start?? Perhaps I don't have a problem at all......but I sure would hate to have the car leave me miles from home when I can hardly walk at this time.....

Thanks.
