Clive, some manuals have a plug/wire that goes to the accelerator, you would see a small micro switch fitted to the peddle in the half cut if there was a wire to it. Its for switching the ecu to stop over run of fuel if I recall correctly

Toms V5 half cut had a switch on the clutch, you need to clutch it to start. Lucky the peddle was in the boot & I noted the switch fitted !
