On vfaq.com it says to hook up the starter cicuit just to take the large black wires and splice them togeather.

Quote:
"To activate the starter circuit the 2 large black wires on the inhibitor switch must be connected to each other, I just cut the two wires from the harness and soldered them together."

If I am right this will completly bypass pushing in the clutch pedal to start the engine. Not good if accidentally starting the car in gear.

Here my idea.
Why not spilce the to big black wires and run them down to the clutch pedal plug? So when you push the pedal its a complete circuit and when its not pushed the car wont start.

Another thing whats the plug and wiring on the gas pedal for?

GOOD!

1.) Always park in neutral, other than on a steep hill (where your compresion will usually bleed-down enough to not hold the car, anyway).

2.) Always shake the shifter to assure neutral before starting.

Starting a dry crank with the clutch in is one of the (thousands of) suspected contributors to crank walk (even on 6-bolts).
 
I have been non stop searching for a picture or some words telling me wich wires to cross on the prndl harness to start the car i crossed the two black and yellow ones but that didn't do anything help would be greatly appreciated thanks
 
no im not getting anything but I have a 420a.

im still not getting anything does any one know what color the wires are to make the car think its in park/or neutral and is that the only thing that affects an auto to manual swap to not do anything when the key is turned

i finally got it thanks for the help tho :thumb::thumb:
