To start the engine...so if someone breaks into my car, they have to move the turn signal or push the hazard light in or something, before my car will start.

It isn't that hard, cut the wire you want to disable (fuel pump, power to the ECU, ignition switch, cam sensor, starter, whatever), hook both ends up to a NO relay, use a toggle switch or existing switch in the car to activate the relay. Granted, if you just want it active for starting, it would have to be starter related, unless whatever you wire it up to will/can stay on the entire time you're driving.
