Easiest way to rig starter?

Use the computer to energize a relay and power the relay right off the battery (or some main power lug).
So I am guessing you have a wire from the computer that goes to +12v when the key is in the start position? If so, hook that to the coil side of the relay (pin 85), hook the other side of the relay coil (pin 86) to ground. The run a power wire from the battery/power lug to the switched part of the relay (pin 30) and one last wire from the relay out (pin 87) to the solenoid.
If the computer grounds that wire, then hook the pin 86 to +12V.
Kinda weird that you need to do this.

You could just run a wire from the s terminal on the starter to the acc on a toggle and run a 12v wire from battery to 12v on toggle but don't run a ground it will keep the starter turning over. I knows it's rigged but that's how I ran mine all season and didn't have a single issue.
