Fuel Cutoff switch
I have tried using the search, but i could find anything simple enough for me to confidently do alone. Can some one point me to a detailed guide on how to make a fuel cut off switch, pictures would be nice .

I just made mine on a on/off switch. put the ground for the pump on the body by the tail lights, ran a wire up to a switch, through the firewall to a fuse-able link, then to the battery.
I personally found it easier than probing wires...

So you could do that, or just make or get one of these.

The idea is that there is a SMALL orifice between the pressure and return lines that allows a TINY bit of fuel to leak straight to the return, but not enough to harm performance. But when you turn the car off, the fuel pump is de energized, no longer pumping pressure, and over a couple minutes, the pressure is relieved and you won't flood from shitty injectors.
Otherwise, if it's not an injector problem, but rather a compression problem, find the black/yellow wires at the injectors and trace it back in the harness until you find where they become one wire. Cut the one wire, and splice in a switch. That will turn the injectors off, while the spark plugs are still firing, killing the car quickly.
But these are only band-aids, and should only be used until the actual problem can be fixed.

I tryed tye fuse cutoff and it killed y tach and speedo so i dont suggest that. So i started cutting wires while the car was on at the fuel pump the black and white wirwd killed it.. So i ran wire rigged a switch and no more running back to my hatch to start the car. Try that it is the ground but you wont have to worry about arching the pump has another base ground to tye chassies. (my .02 on that) and goodluck

I do hope you realize that with the pump off, theirs still pressure in the fuel system. It'll take the car about a good minute or two with no power to the pump for it to kill the car.
I just made mine on a on/off switch. put the ground for the pump on the body by the tail lights, ran a wire up to a switch, through the firewall to a fuse-able link, then to the battery.
