Fuel kill is not a good idea IMO. Your better off using an Ignition kill.

I completely agree, I just installed an ignition kill last week.

or install both. very easy. run a switch off the black and yellow wire under your steering wheel going to your ign. switch. done the ign. kill. as for a fuel cut, run a switch from the power wire on your fuel pump. take out your back seat (assuming you drive a civic), find the power wire, believe its red (could be wrong, use a test light to make sure. cut the wire, connect a switch between. there done both. can be done in like 25mins. as for location. i have mine right on the center console by my shifter. if someone wants your car bad enough, there gonna get it.

right beside the driver seat. between the seat and the door, underneath the carpet. i believe thats where the harness runs so u have easier acces to the wires. i believe the wire to the fuel pump is a yellow one but still double check that(i think it was yellow on the 94 gsr i used to own.) just put a hole in the metal down there and stick ur switch in there and put the carpet back where it was and dont tell anyone about it:) when ur done that switch should be unnoticeable

It's better to use a single pole switch wired into the negative wires.

Come on guys.......Why run a wire all the way back to the fuel pump.....Why not kill the signal to the pump at the fuse box? Would seem to me you could hook a fuel kill and ignition kill to the same source...All it does is breaks a circuit.

theres a relay for the fuel system behind the fuse box underneath the dash. one of those wires goes to the pump. all u have to do is put a switch on it
