i've been considering something that i think may be possible but need further verification on the electrical schematics of our engines.
in stock form, when the engine is running, and you turn the key to the 'START' position, you will hear crunching and grinding sounds, and your starter or flywheel ring will not like you much after that.. so, i've been thinking.. is there an energized circuit somewhere that is ONLY energized when the engine is running and not when the key is at the 'ON' position. i ask because i'm considering having a secondary relay that will cut out the starter relay when the engine is on, effectively preventing the (noob) driver from cranking the engine when it's already running.
now, my car is pretty loud so it would be hard to miss when the engine is running but this would sure come in handy for those quiet 'hybrid-type' cars that just whisper when the engine is running.
Texx, can you help on this one..?
