fuel cutoff?

[cutty]

Hey i was wondering how i could put in a manual fuel cutoff switch in my cutlass. And if it is even possible to do, and how would i go about doing it??

 

 

i have been thinking about this for some time now, but i cant figure out how i would do it or wire it up.

 

so any and all info would be great.

find power wire going to the fuel pump and add a switch to it....

 

I dunno why you'd need one though.

some kind of theft deterrent?

[cutlsp]

not a bad idea actually they wouldn't know whats going on even if they bypass the alarm it won't start lol

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

People might break into w-bodys to steal things, but they don't want the cars themselves

[cutty]

i just want one, because i do!

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

have fun then, hope don't set the car on fire..

sorry but i never will, and you can leave your fucked up comments out of my thread

[cutty]

sorry but if you have seen all the wiring that i have in my car you would have thought it would have caught on fires years ago, im a mechanic i am certified in automotive electronics. im not some dumbass that will go cutting wires, twisting them together and then putting elec. tape on them, trust me.

 

the reason i asked on here is i thought some of the NICE people with experience in this would be willing to help me out, but i guess not since everyone here seems to be a smartass lately.

 

just to name some of the things i have wired in my car are, amp, speakers, police strobes, headlight leds. a water temp gauge, and come other things. which i installed all professonially.

 

so just because im not a known person on here doesnt mean you can judge me thinking i know nothing about electrical.

 

im not trying to be mean here its just everytime i post something i want help with i never get any damn replies that are helpful. so i hope no one is taking offense to what im saying but its hope it is portrayed to me.

 

so thanks to everyone who DIDNT help me with this.

[Guest TurboSedan]

you're welcome

 

good luck getting help with that attitude.

[cutty]

yes i did take take the course and yes mine was like 6months of electrical, but we didnt cover such things like this thats why i asked.[br]Posted on: April 22, 2006, 04:24:05 PM_________________________________________________

Is this thread gonna get back on track soon, or is it gonna get locked? Because I'd like to hear how you're planning on doing this fuel cutoff thing.

[digitaloutsider]

The ghetto instinct in me tells me that just putting a switch inline from the fuel pump relay to it's power source would make it work just fine..

 

I don't know why you'd want to do this though.

[Bossman429]

Cut power to the relay via a switch.

 

The relay pulls little amps, whereas the fuel pump will pull more amps.

It would be unsafe, and possibly unreliable to try to run a switch off of the fuel pump wires, unless it is a high amp switch. If you switch the relay it will be a lot safer.

 

If you wanted the same effect you would do something like cut power to the ECM, but then you would fight idle relearn problems.

 

Good luck!

thanks bossman!
