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. |

In the US just being a manual transmission is anti theft. May not work in other countries where people know how to operate a vehicle. However you end up I would suggest you break the connection and extend wires at a connector that way you can return it the the way it was without cutting into the harness.
