Hello, I'm leaving my car alone for a little while and only have a basic security system. What can I do for added protection? I know you guys are going to say "fuel cutoff" and "hood release cable relocation" but the thing is I'm leaving tomorrow and don't have time when I get back from work tonight. I was thinking of removing a fuse or two and maybe the ECU but which fuses and where are they located? I have a 98 LS. Thanks in advance!

 

usually they just tow it away.

no ecu, or battery? they will just go down the street and jack one.

park it at a friends house?

 

sad to say..I don't have any friends lol but it is going to be at my fiances moms house...where I've been staying the past few months and nothings happened. It's a pretty safe neighborhood, but she leaves at 11:00 p.m. for work and there won't be anyone home who will check on the car. I just want to be able to have a little vacation without having to think of someone stealing it. Why did honda have to make my car so desireable to thieves

 

Any pro's or cons about removing the spark plugs to help deter theft? I mean is it POSSIBLE for anyone to drive a car with 3 spark plugs?

 

What i do is i take the main power out the iginition coil, and i switch around the plug wires. maybe an auto lock will help a bit..

 

take the ecu out and take a rim off lol

 

What do you mean they usually tow it away? What the hell are you basing that statement on? Tow truck thefts are pretty damn rare in most areas. People just assume that everything must have been a tow truck. They don't realize how stupidly easy it is to steal a car w/out setting off an alarm or leaving a pile of glass.

You could take the starter off, that's pretty easy. Or take the alternator belt off the pulley without removing it. Then at least they wont get very far. Of course they could still get past it... but will they? I don't know man, be creative. I can think of a million things.

Yes you can drive on three cylinders. Better take at least two spark plugs.

 

For one don't tell honda tech that you are leaving
2 take your battery out put it in the house with your ecu and your spark plug wires and go get a car cover with a lock place a little dirt behind each wheel and your car should be there when you return.

I will go with the remove a wheel, but pull all 4, and set it on blocks, and if you have rim lock nuts put them back on.
Unless they drag it up on a flat deck, or the crocks have a spare set of 4 tires on rims with them, I don't see the car going anyplace till you get back. 94

 

take out your seats and put your car in blocks

 

pull out ur motor

 

take a chain and wrap your entire car in it. then duct tape the chain to the ground.
