the alternator pin went from 0v to 12v when the engine is running. so we have 12v at both ends of the relais coil. thats a 0v difference, so the relais is released and the starter stops. this is faster than the drivers hand can be.

jic: when the alternator fails and the starter will not stop, u have to open the service switch.
That's pretty damned smart, but it might force a few hypermilers to adapt their kiss-starting clutch technique a little. I don't know about you all, but I suspect my gas pedal gets a tap as I raise the clutch pedal a little for clutch/flywheel contact.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
