The button is spliced into your starter harness. When its pressed it sends the same signal that your key would send to turning it to the last/start position. When the button is released it stops sending the signal, just the same as when you stop pushing the key into the start position. I have never had experience with the car not starting, but I would assume you just push the button again, as you would just turn the key again.
This is also why its important to wire the ground to your ebrake ground. If you push the button while the car is already on and you haven't connected the ground to the ebrake or some other kill switch then you
will chew your starter up.
I have attached a wiring diagram, you can ignore the right side as i was making something to totally bypass using a key at all. Relays can be purchased at radioshack for a few dollars and i would recommend it otherwise the button will burn out.
