I've been told there is a switch under the 84 elan that when shorted, will not let the car run normally. I know about the switch in the trunk, but had to hook up a toggle switch to get car to run, toggle if timed right is pushed and car runs great, but fingers get tired fast. Any help with this problem would be appreciated Thanks Dave.

Brky65, did you ever get the answer to the switch under the 84 elan? I have the same vehicle and I'm interested in what you found out.
