Anybody ever done a fuel pump kill switch on there civic eg? Let me know how you did it. I'm thinkin it's a very simple process. Just wondering if anyone else is, or already did it.

 

I'm very interested too. VXpride...if you learn more about this...can you tell me also?

no one here is gonna tell you exactly how , its a theft / security issue

you gotta look at the manual for your car and figure it out from there
pretty simple though

 

Well im sure you know this but you can get to fuel pump by taking out the back seats. There is a two pin connector that supplies power to the pump and you could splice in a toggle switch, run the wires under the carpet and mount the swith under the dash, and you're done. hth

 

Well I haven't wired one up in an eg, but I have wired one up before in my old jeep. We used an aftermarket fuel pump on this vehicle which was wired seperatly from the factory system. Had a relay that had a constant power, switched power signal wire, ground, and a wire to power the pump. For our application we used a part from holley that taps into your oil pressure sender that sends a signal to the relay that indicates there is oil pressure and keeps power going to the relay, if for some reason oil pressure dropped the fuel pump would cut off.
Basically if you want a manual switch you could just do it with a switch to the signal wire, or use a something like the holley part.
I hope that helps a little bit, although if you are using the stock wiring for it, it may not help. I don't think it would be very difficult to tap into the factory wiring to install a kill switch through either a relay or directly to the power wire.

 

Just dont forget the whole point of a kill switch is to keep the thieves from finding it. I am not going to tell anyone GOOD places to put it, but be creative.

And please dont put it in the trunk. The last thing you want is the theif to SEE you go into your trunk everytime you get out of your car.

 

Thanks everyone for the input it will be in soon, thanks

 

Well the point of the fuel pump kill switch can also be for safety reasons. If a fire starts in your car or your engine stalls out you can easily kill the fuel pump. The point of wiring it to the oil pressure sensor in the jeep was because in carbed jeeps when you are running at very steep angles the carb would flood and stall sometimes and your pump would keep running if you had an electric fuel pump running.
I think that Honda fuel pumps already have some kind of provision for that though. But, if you wire up a fuel pump on a seperate relay it is something that needs to be considered.

 

its simple to wire up a switch. just keep in mind that the fuel pump is self grounding. so you need to attach the switch to the postive wire.

 

werd, go to the ITR forum i just posted there about this topic
i have it in my CRX,,, took like 25 mins, becuase you have to pull up the carpeting and remove the seat, no one knows how to get my car started, becuase they dont know about the switch, its a simple easy smart way of theft prevention
werd out

Yeah thinking about starting to put mine in, just wondering if its better to use 16 gauge or 18 gauge or if it makes the least bit of difference.
