Car: 89 rx7.

okay, been working on my alarm this morning and everything is going well.

its all wired up and working good - bar the relay.

first i installed the relay as an ignition killer. it worked in that the car would die after about 1 sec (even though it would start - is this the way ignition killers work?)

i thought a starter kill would be better as you cant even get the starter cranking let alone run the car at all. So i simply changed the relay's wires over to the starter wire coming from the ignition barrel. go to fire it up.. and it starts??

what could be going wrong here? all i did was change the two green wires from the relay to intercept the starer wire (i left alarm -ve and acc where they were.)

really confusing me!

cheers

make sure that one of the other relay wires are on the ign wire and the other ground when armed from alarm

I did not read anywhere where you stated you actually cut the starter wire, for the starter inhibit.
