#1- Just uses the lighter to complete the circuit across the starter kill relay allowing the car to start.

#2- Relay#1 isolates relays#2,#3 from the lighter circuit, as well as inverts polarity to actuate relay#2

Relay#2 ,when actuated by relay#1, will latch on(and stay on until IGN is turned off), as well as actuate relays#3,#4

Relay#3 is the starter kill relay and when actuated by relay#2, will complete the starter circuit allowing the car to start

Relay#4, when actuated by relay#2, will restore GND to the lighter circuit allowing it to operate as normal until the IGN is turned off

Relays are the normal Bosch(or similar) 30 amp SPDT
Diode 1N4001 is very common and is available at Radio Shack for under $1

I wrote this in like 5 mins, and I haven't had a chance to test it out, I will do so in the next few days to make sure it works as its supposed to and I will try to simplify it so 4 relays aren't needed as well.Circuit #2 assumes the lighter is controlled by the IGN as it is in my 2G, I can't remember if its that way in the 1G's.If it isn't, relays#2,#3 need an IGN power, otherwise you can run #2,#3 off the lighters IGN power wire.Any questions ASK ME before you go fry your shit.I hope no car theives frequent this board

BTW It would be a good idea to put a 5 amp fuse on the IGN wires going to relays#2,#3
