you sure you've got one?
I know I can start my 87 Accord DX without depressing the clutch, just so
long as it's in neutral.
BTW, you should mention what model and trim level your car is when asking
for locations of switches and things of the sort.

I think they added that in 88. The 86 and 87 will start without pushing in
the clutch, the 88 and 89 will not.

oops, critical typo below, let's say my car starts with
me standing outside the car leaning in to start it (in
any gear). Anyone in the snowbelt will appreiciate that.
