Stupid question, but what made you look for it? Might make it easier to figure out. Any idea what circuit its tied into? EVTM is your friend, I only have them for the older fox's or we could start sorting.

im almost positive that is the wire and fuseable link for the o2 sensors

when i bought this thing some rigged up a push button starter to it. wired directly to solnoid.

works great except when you hook up the red/blue wire to starter solnoid top how it should be and use the key.
car won't start. i then discovered the starter/neutral switch on clutch pedal was missing. i put one in-still no start.
changed ignition switch still no good.
also checked starter solnoid itself. its good.

now at least when i try starting the car with a key i am getting a clicking noise coming from the pass side relay under the mass air meter. thats what brought me over there and i noticed the missing fusible link

i have been going over every freaking wire on this car to look for cut wires etc

i have the dash out now to look at wires and also to change the heater core and put a nicer dash shell in the car.

the car is a 91 but i did order a 93 evtm for my other cars, so that may work.

bob, if you're up for a little troubleshooting give me a PM. i have a few days into working on this thing now!!

You know the answer here, if its been messed with as much as it sounds like, you need to wring out circuits based on the EVTM and just go at it that way. Not likely to find it just looking for the changes.

Confirm that power is going into, then out of the clutch switch as a first step. The other thing to try is to turn on the key (power up) then jump the solenoid itself. If its starts, the issue is in the interlock circuit if I remeber how it works correctly.
