Starter(motor) kill switch

1)Where do you put the switch?

I looked in the Haynes manual.(page 173)..is it X-10? BY->Black-Yellow wires. There is a Fusible link on that wire.

2)What's the max AMP going through that wire? Is a switch enough or do I need a relay?

Wrong circuit. You can always push-start a car with a starter kill. Get the fuel circuit. For some god-forsaken reason Mazda didn't see fit to run the fuel pump circuit through a relay, so interrupt that circuit with a relay that only trips once you hit the switch.

I was planning on doing a starter buttonswitch and the fuelswitch with a remote.

Maybe it's a bit overkill.

For the fuelpump.....what wire do I need to cut for the relay? And howmuch AMP is going through the wire and relay?
