it will let you know if your ignition switch is good.

I think he is refering to the old screwdriver trick, key on car in neutral, use a screwdriver to connect to two posts on the solenoid(drivers side fenderwell) together, makes the engine turn over...make sure you are in neutral and thehand brake is on.....

i have a 95 gt anyone have a pic on where i can find this so i can check it

On your drivers side fenderwell is a starter solonoid... kind of looks like a flat black plastic cylinder with 3 posts (two mains, and one small one with a plug on the top). Get your remote start switch (or 2 screwdrivers if you are working on the cheap like I often am)and pull the plug off of the top post. Cross the main post closest to the firewall and the top one that you unplugged, and the starter should turn over. Just make sure that you car isn't in gear, because this bypasses the safety switch.

ok iunderstand but i dont remeber ever seeing that solienod a pick would be the world of help to me and what does it mean if the car start and what does it mean if it doesnt.

tmajikman

if it starts, your starters good, if it does not start it could be the ignition switch or neutral safety switch/clutch safety switch.
