I'm looking for some help and I would greatly appreciated if I could get some pointers...

Car: Acura Integra 1993

Model: LS

Transmission: Manual

Installing: Panther PS-5000 Alarm/Starter

Question#1: Does anyone know which clutch type this car has? Or how to test it?

These are the several types of clutch switches that operate in one of the following ways, but which one is it?

Type 1 - Starter Wire Bypass

The starter wire travels form the key switch through the clutch switch to the starter

motor. Connect the Remote Starters Starter Output wire directly to the starter motor

side of the clutch switch.

Type 2 - Negative (High Current)

This switch grounds the factory starter relay and allows the vehicle to start. Connect a

relay to ground the clutch switch wire when the remote starter is activated. The starter

wire is connected at the ignition switch.

Type 3 - Connect Switch

Install a relay to connect the two wires at the switch when the remote starter is

activated. The starter wire is connected at the ignition switch.

Type 4 - Disconnect Switch

Install a relay to disconnect one of the wires at the clutch switch. The starter wire is

connected at the ignition switch.

Your car uses a (-) negative type clutch activation. Which means you can just use the ground when running wire to bypass. Attach the ground when running wire to the clutch wire and it will temporary bypass the clutch when you remote start the vehicle.

thanks,

I got it working... i was testing the two wires that I thought were the clutch switch wires but later I found out that it was the cruise control wires... the clutch switch was located just above the cruise control switch....
