Let me explain this a little more clearly so we can brainstorm this.

In neutral with clutch not pushed in and Calpod switch NOT activated = car will run the IMA motor to try and start the motor, don't know if it's spraying fuel into the cylinders.

Car in neutral, foot pressing the clutch = 50-75% of the time it just lugs at 150 - 300rpmish until I flip my switch again which then about 25% of the time it just lugs again.

It's the same story if I try to activate the Calpod.

My question is this, would it be possible to put a relay in line with my coil kill switch, so as long as I keep the switch flipped (I'm using a light switch btw) it will keep the motor off, by simulating the clutched being pushed in at the same time? I don't like this, as I would lose the auto stop functionality but if that's how it's gonna be, so be it.
