Remote starter hookup

??? Easiest way is to just hook to the two large bare terminals on the starter relay. Most the time I don't even use a switch, just a screwdriver, pliers, "any other" piece of metal I have handy

MAKE DARN SURE the trans is in park or neutral. If it fires, it will "go."

(If I live long enough to get my own car back together, this will be more difficult, LOL. There will be no starter relay "under the hood.")

Does this mean that you can not only turn the engine over but fire the engine up as well? Does the key have to be in the run position to be able to fire the engine using the remote starter? If this is possible I might do this to fire my newly rebuilt engine by myself if I can't find a helper.
