first. when you post, post with a real title. Help is not a title. "Help I need info on the fuel cut switch" would be a real title.

2nd, there is not a factory fuel cut switch. Not sure what your asking.

which leads to:

#3 in your post you should list the problem. Why do you need a fuel cut off switch, what problem are you trying to solve?

Are you sure it's fuel? If it is it could be a number of things, pump, fuel filter, injectors, AFM problem (though with this the car will run for ~5 seconds then shut off usually).

How do you know its not starting because its not getting fuel?

The AFM is the "MAF", except its technically called an AFM on our cars.

people dont know how to think for themselves nowadays, lol. but if you do want the feature of a fuel shut off, you have to rig one up yourself.
