Yeah, you could just cut the ignition lead to the leading coil.

But why??? A switch is just something else to fail

Theft deturrant I suppose

But, yes, that switch might fail eventually - if I were going to rig a kill switch on the ignition I'd hook it up to a relay. Im not sure how many amps go through the ignition lead, but I'll bet dollars to doughnuts its more than your average switch can withstand for a good period of time.

easier fix, put a relay/switch inline with the EGI fuse wires, on the fused side of course.

i want to just cut the coils nothing else. yeah i was planing on using a relay and running a switch into the car.

reasons.
if your car is over heating you can cool it by dumping raw fuel through the motor, like when exiting the freeway or sumthin.
and because you can fill the exaust system with raw fuel air mix, and then well get sum killer flames with you let go of the switch to re energize the coils.

its just sumthin to play with.
i have a 3" exhaust system with a flowmaster and a resonator at the end, i think i can get a good cannon action out of it.

I have done this as put by socal and it was only as a theft detturant device but it WILL cut the entire car off! there is NO push it and then let go....It's more like push it then turn the car off and then back on. I wanna see you do this all while rolling down an off ramp!

if you turn the damn key off while rolling down a offramp please make sure i am NOWHERE nearby! you realize your steering wheel locks when you turn the key off right?


honduh! buy it and go away.

and for the record, there is a difference between flames and EXPLOSIONS in your exhaust system, god damn kids... if i see an exhaust system flying at me don't expect that i will be happy about it.

Hmmm...not really.
Most of the stuff inside the engine is still hot enough to ignite the fuel being dumped in there.
One really stupid side effect is that you just washed away all the oil that helps lubricate the insides of the engine.
I guess if you're running premix, that's not that big of a deal...
...but, seeing how stupid that you insist on doing this, I doubt you're even premixing?

At the very least the fuel is going to get ignited in the exhaust system, which can damage components in the exhaust system itself.
Go ahead, go look cool and blow flames out the exhaust.
Please don't come back and ask how why you're exhaust is leaking down the road.
