fuel cut off swich

people tell me this is bad for my injectors, but the way i look at it, its pretty nice for a $600 car so im gonna put one anyway,

alright how do it acculy work, so when i put the swich in my car which im sure there is how to somewhere deep in this forum,
do i shut my car off, then crank the car a bit turn it back on, and my car sould start nicely, or should i shut it off and let the car stall, then when i turn my car on let it crank till it starts?

I have one in my 87 N/A. When you want to start the car, start cranking with the switch in the off position, then flip it on while you are still cranking. When you go to turn the car off, flip the switch off and wait a few seconds for the car to die. Then take the key out.

would it fix this:

when my car has been sitting for awile it starts easy, like any normal car,

take it for a drive and shut it off, it dosent start agian, to start it i usually push to a moderate speed, jump in put it in first and let go of the clutch. same if i stall the car,

now if i get a fuel cut off swich this should happen right, cause pushing my car sucks.

Yes it shoud.... If it floods that easy you are either running it to short <you can do this> or there is something with you injectors <which I highly doubt> . Fuel cut switch should solve this. I also heard you can upgrade to MSD ignition and it usually rarely floods ? Or is it it rarely fails to start ? I dunno.
