here is a another way of doing the starter. if you use a vacuum switch (such as the ones jeeps use to tell you your 4wd is engaged) you run a second relay for the starter switch that is wired from the NC contacts the vacuum switch connects to your vacuum system any where near the intake. and what it does is allow your starter to turn until the engine starts, at which point the vacuum switch trips at full idle vacuum and disconnects the starter from your starter input source.

@Thepockets88 I'm using the "Engine running" output from the ECU to sense if the engine has started or not. Works perfectly.

very nice, how do you manage to trigger the relays if the output voltage off the board is lower than the triggering voltage of the relay?

[GadgetBoy8878]

@budy278 You supply 12 to the one side of relay coil. The output is applied to the other. There's a common from the board back to 0V of your 12V supply. When you switch the output on it completes the circuit and the coil energises.
