There is a way to start the car without pushing down on the clutch we did with my brothers mk4 supra. WOndering if anyone has done this yet?

 

At first I thought you where talking about push starting a car. If you really want to bypass the clutch switch you can. It's not reccomended though. The starter has enough power to start the car in gear. If you forget to leave it in nuetral, the car will start into whatever is in the way.

There is a reason the clutch interlock is put on the car, that's why.

 

I got it done on my S, I'm not sure how my installer did it but I don't have to press on the clutch to start my S anymore. It's actually better for me, do at your own risk.

 

Question: Why???????

 

People like me sometimes think its a hassle when you're still talking with someone outside the car while having to start it. By passing it wont make you have to sit inside the car to crank it then go back out, if that makes any sense.

BTW, i still prefer the clutch start and no i didn't bypass it

Storyline:
Man claims he was just standing there beside his car talking to his buddy, Elmer Sleeman. Homer Flood then reached inside his car to demonstrate how really cool this little red starter button thingie is. Having disabled the clutch interlock switch the day before for the sole purpose of impressing Elmer, Homer neglected to take the car out of gear and he NEVER uses the handbrake 'cause it might stretch the cable and all. Homer's little convertible sports car, being the reliable Honda that it is, fired up immediately. Since it was his first cold start of the day, the idle speed of the engine climbed to about 2200. Of course, Homer, being the genius that he is, also decided to use the added mechanical advantage of higher gearing when parked and had the transmission in second gear. The car took off straight down Main Street. Luckily, Main Street in Hicktown is only 1 block long and the cute little sports car quickly left the city limits where the 2 men were last seen running into the dessert. Later that night, our news crew caught up with Homer and Elmer about 20 miles out of town. "Gaaawwwllllly, if it weren't for that big ol' coyote hole that done grabbed the front tire, we'd still be headed for Rattlesnake Canyon. No biggie though, 'cause the only thing in there is Goober Hensley's place. He's got this big ol' chicken house in his yard. With any luck, ma car done woulda killed a few o' them thar birds. I was headed out thet way later this week anyhoo to git me some o' them chickens. Oh, I got this here funny noise comin' from the front wheel now. Anybody knows what it might be?"

 

you can do it, its very easy, you just have to make sure that the car is in neutral everytime, i have it done to my itr


the switch is located under the clutch pedal inside the car under the dash

 

does anyone happen to have a picture and/or diagram that would help out a lil bit more then just words? also, if it's in gear and you start it, wouldn't it just die cuz your not giving any gas and the clutch is out? you know if your idling in 1st and take your foot off the clutch the car will die?

 

Just pop your head under the dash and look for a switch either at the top of the pedal travel, or more likely at the end of the pedal travel. If I bypass mine today i'll take some pictures.

 

There are two switches that the clutch pedal manipulates. One is for the cruise control disable and the other is the clutch/starter interlock. Just don't disconnect the wrong one.

As for the the car dying, this is a different scenario. When the car is idling and you let the clutch go, this is usually a fairly quick movement and the sudden introduction of load (the car's weight) will stall the engine.
In the case where you crank the engine with the starter motor, the starter motor actually moves the car (assuming the hand brake is NOT applied) and takes up the initial load. With the car moving under the starter's power, once the engine fires up, it has a little less load to deal with and can continue to run while increasing the car's road speed. Given that the cold idle speed is elevated, this is more than sufficient engine torque to move the car down the road.
If you decide to disable the interlock, you must understand the difference between these two concepts. Failure to do so will allow you to make the wrong assumptions and people or property "could" get injured or damaged. The clutch/starter interlock is one of those "idiot proofing" things that manufacturers put into cars because such incidents have happened in the past. And invariably, some "idiot" will show why it was put there.
