Hey I just recently purchased my first Civic, so im new to the car and new to the forums. Ive got a 93 sedan in manual.
In short, the previous owner had it wired to auto start with an "Avital" keyfob, and on top of that, he also had the car set up where the car will only run if auto started and then the key is inserted and turned to the start position. If just the key is inserted and turned the car will not start.
At first i thought nothing of it, figuring it to be a good anti theft safety feature, but due to a very weak E-brake I have to leave the car parked in gear, and when auto started in gear it will buck foward like mad. Afraid Im going to forget to take it out of gear before starting one day an have it take off.
One thing i did notice is one of the wires down by the clutch has been cut. There is also an independent set of wires running to a drum shaped metal box that looks out of place.
I havent gotten any serious time to get a good look at what is going on down there but I would really appreciate any help I could get to point me in the right direction. Not really to great when it comes to wiring.
