Default it might be dumb but, ???

ok so i think i have a good idea of what a fuel killswitch is,
it is a manually operated switch hidden within the car to engage the fuel pump, so only the driver should know about it, so said person can turn the switch on before the car is turned on, making sure that the car will get gasoline to the engine?

am i right?

I guess you could put one on the fuel line, but not sure.

Maybe hes talking about 5 different fuel pump switches, hidden all over the car.

That would make for a heck of a routine to turn on lol.

Or, maybe hes got one on the main positive cable. One on the ECU, one on the Distributor, one on the injectors, and finnaly one for the fuel pump.

Man just pull your distributor plug out a little so the prongs dont connect, pop your ecu out, get a quick release on an aftermarket steering wheel and carry them around in a backpack. Save you a mess of wiring

yea, i would never get a detachable steering hub though. thats just saying you got something you don't want stolen. also no hood pins, same reason, plus they look retarted.

Yep, I'm gonna put one in too, once my new carpet is ready to go in, then I will decide where to place it so its not obvious, or where everyone else does it, so its hardest to find.
