transmission range switch is good (BR/BK wire). The circuit is designed so that the car will not start unless gear selector is in park or neutral. The BK/YL wire runs from the start relay to the starter solenoid and to unloader relays K5 & K7 in the fuse box, and to the diag. conn., cold start valve, and thermo time switch. The relay is located under the dash on the driver side.

Be careful starting the car remotely. I know someone who managed to get the driver side tire firmly planted on top of his foot by trying to start the car remotely while it was in gear.
