yes ,it certainly does,but the reason the engine will start and run "ok" is the resistor wire in series with it,from the main harness plug,which doubles back to the 2-wire plug to the starter,crimped to the yellow wire there...trace the resistor wire back to the body-side of the main connector,and you have full volts from the IGN key in start and run...disconnected wire? no power to the coil,it'll quit,won't it?...sorry, I fell asleep last nite...Tom..//

connects to the coil + terminal.
Ray, this is probably the wire disconnected on your coil.
This wire only supplies +12volts when the starter is cranking. At other 
times when the key is on it will only read coil voltage.

Having this wire disconnected will still have the car start and run, 
just not as easy to start in bad conditions (very hot, very cold).

So safeguard will not work on this wire properly.

But a relay switched by this wire may do well. Or follow others 
instructions so far on color of wires.
