Well look at it. Its obviously the one on the clutch pedal thats pushed in when the pedal is pushed down all the way to allow the engine to start. The other is a cruise vent valve thats opened as soon as the clutch starts being pushed. There both just on off switches. Figure it out. If you unplug it and it doesnt start, then jump the 2 terminals and see if it starts.

Ancient post, but ran across this thread doing some Googling to help with my pedal setup for auto to manual conversion. What they mean is these switches are basic on and off so typically only two wires going to the pedal switch. If you cross or jump the two wires together it will trigger it to always to be on (of off depending how it's wired). So if you need to bypass the neutral safety swtich on the pedal bracket for testing or starting the car.

I also noticed with pre 2000 year models they used vacuum pedal switches for cruise control deactivation vs 2000+ did electric switches. Also pre 2000 models were cable throttle and later model electronic accelerator pedal. So keep that in mind when doing a conversion from auto to manual. I took the 3 pedal assembly from a 2000 model but converting a 99, but was able to take the brake and clutch pedal off and still use my automatic pedal assembly using the original cabled accelerator pedal
