cut your ignitor wire youl get no spark trust me. there is also one for the fuel pump but people can trace it unless you hide it real well https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/88-91-crx-ef-civic-frequently-asked-questions-faqs-1508680/ is the faq alot of info can be found there and here is the thread https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/faq-diy-how-fuel-pump-cut-off-switch-1297327/ but like my teacher always tells me when i talk about alarms/security if they want your car they'll bring a tow-truck

not from the factory. there is no built in switch.

ppl install security switches that do this tho. its not hard. its what theyre talking about.


fords are known to have an automatic fuel cut off switch in case of an accident or tow or something. you need to manually reset it from the inside the trunk. that sucked finding that out the hard way when i had a mercury topaz as the family car.

until someone pointed out the switch, after replacing the ignitor and starter relay and whatnot.

Do Hondas have these? We might already have a built in kill switch

no older Hondas do not have these only some gm's i think newer cars have a more advance system that relies on sensor used with the srs system
