Injector kill switch for Autos

[cwa]

Dear All,

Has anyone tried Injector Kill switch for Automatics? How it works after EOC. Can someone shares the experience?

I know it is well suited to Manuals where bump start will start after EOC. WIth Autos, we may have to start the engine. Also EOC is not recommeded for mast of Automatics.

I thought that Injector Kill can not only be used in EOC, but also to avoid Traffic light Idleing as well.
:rolleyes:

same as EOC in autos...the engine'll stop, the trans will stop pumping and die. the other problem with that idea is that there already is one...it's called the ignition switch.

It can sort of work at engine speeds above around 2000rpm, because the tranny will still be driving the engine, below that it won't. So if you can rig it in a set/reset kind of fashion where it kicks the fuel back on if the engine revs drop too far, then it might work. It works like that in some manufacturers ECU programming. I've heard that some Saturn autos have rear pumps meaning that they might be able to cope with lower rev holds and still pick up again.

I would like to install a switch to prevent my car from starting. I have done it in the past through the wiring of the starter. But just can't have any other options. Any idea?

There's lots of ways to install a switch to prevent the car from starting. You could find an existing anti-theft wire coming from the steering shaft and interrupt it with a switch. You could interrupt the fuel pump fuse or relay. Or, as you've done before, you could find the starter wiring...
