no one is going to help you out if you say you are lazy. Are you comfortable working on your car and do you know 12 volts

That's definitely not how it works around here, guy... And it's "through"... And use some punctuation and better sentence structure and we'll be more apt to help you.

LOL, I think they are both having a bad day.

What is it you want to do?

A simple 1A SPST, [on/off] toggle switch installed, [hidden] on the coil ground for injector power relay in the "PGM-FI Main Relay", [also called main relay or fuel pump relay] will shut down the injectors and the fuel pump. 94

Oh boo hoo... It's just so terribly hard to scroll through the pages of the DIY thread... If you had looked at page 3, there are pretty pictures that show you exactly what you need to do. You don't even need to read those pesky words in the first two pages...

I will help anyone thats willing to help his or her self Sorry If i seemed to come off rude but look at your post. Make sure the install is clean and you can't tell that it was there. I just fixed 3 members cars to day that kill switchs were garbage. I wish I could of posted pictures. But If you can not do the job right do not do it at all. It will be a waste of time and your car will probably end up being stolen anyways. Kill switches teamed up with a alarm is the way to go. You need attention brought to the car. The kill swithes will not do that. It will just slow them down. You are local, If you want. You buy the material. You work on your own car. I'll show you how to do it right. I will be doing one sunday so you can take notes.

thanks</TD></TR></TABLE> Not the coil, the ground for the coil, the ground for the injector coil is low current, [relay not needed] you only need a 1A switch, the ground lead is on the PGM-FI Main Relay plug/harness, normally found up under dash drivers side.
You will use a SPST, [on/off] switch, ground lead is cut and the two cut ends are connected to the two terminals of the switch.
What is the mm&y of car?94

Unlike most Honda/Acuras the relay on a 96 Civic is apparently on the right side... http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelay.html

The switch you have is much bigger then you need, and it is the wrong switch, you need a small, 1A on/off switch that you can hide, you certainly do not need a light.
Something like this...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...58169
There is only one black wire on the PRM-FI Main Relays plug, if you cut that black ground lead, it will "immobilize" the car, install the switch so you can open and close the circuit, [ground]. 94

The head lights are a 30A circuit, so you would need a 30A switch, or just use a relay on the white 12V+ input to the "Combination Light Switch", from fuse 48 -30A, [hot at all times] in under hood fuse box, the white lead runs from under hood fuse box to the under dash fuse box and then to the "CLS", you could even use the same toggle installed on the injector relays coil ground to control the head light relay. 94

As I said, you only need a 1A switch for the injector relays coil ground, so use the switch for the head lights. 94

Again it's bigger then you need, and it makes hiding them harder, you can use the switch to control any circuit that is 10A or less. 94
