So I want to install a switch hidden under the dash to stop the engine starting.
Having done a search, the black/purple wire going to the tachometer seemed a likely candidate to break the circuit. However, when I disconnected it from the tach, the car would still start! Which wire should I use? The engine is a 1973 2.0 four cylinder with fuel injection. |

The OP is from Poole, England. Yes, here (North America), the manual trans helps weed out a lot of would be joy riders. Probably less so in the UK...
I wonder if the 914 is a left hand drive car. That could be a slight deterrent in itself in a right hand drive vehicle country. A cabin switch like any of the posts would be the best. |
