GLS-SE quicky question
On a 2nd gen, you can simply pull the EGI fuse, turn the engine over a few times, replace the EGI fuse and your good to go.
Where is the EGI fuse on a GSL-SE? It doesn't look like it's one of the fuseable links.

There is no equivalent on the FB. There is an engine fuse under the dash, but...
If you disconnect the primary on the trailing (front) coil, it will prevent the fuel pump from running. (13B only, does not work for the 12a) If you hold it disconnected while someone turns it over, and reconnect it after a few seconds of turning, without stopping, it may do the trick. If not, remove the plugs, etc.

The advantage with pulling the primary of the trailing coil is that it kills the fuel pump but the leading plugs will still fire. The engine will run for a second on the excess fuel and the remaining fuel under pressure in the line, drying the plugs and chambers better that just turning it over.
Plus it's easier to get at.

I've installed a relay to do this for me... cold mornings don't get along with the engine too well, so it's needed sometimes.
