Everything is possible.  One way to do this
is to rewire an x-10 appliance module so
that it's relay contacts no longer switch
110volt but just opens and closes contacts
instead.  From this you run a couple of
wires into a spare starter remote so as to
contact to two contacts of the starter
button.  Set the Appliance Module to turn on
and immediately turn off again.  This would
simulate someone pressing the start button.

Make sure you know what you're doing when
you modify the relay to remove the 110volts
from it or your results could be desasterous
or even dangerous.
