So it looks like Britt is feeding a direct 12v signal to the ECM allowing the starter to engage and bypassing all the potential sources of the voltage drop. When I got my BR ZR, I had the no start situation and I installed a bypass on the clutch switch. I realize about the possible start in gear, but I've driven manuals all my life and my muscle memory always pushes in the clutch and makes certain trans is in neutral prior to ignition. I could have a little plaque made and fixed to the steering wheel I suppose. However, haven't had a no start since. If you ever pull the plenum, take the opportunity to do a starter rebuild. Kits are available pretty cheaply and it takes 30 minutes.
