i was in the same boat as you, i was looking for a 15A fuse but there was no fuel injection fuse in the under hood fuses. Simply disconnect the distributor plugs. That will do it.

Just remove the fuse for the ecu.

No fuel will be squirted into the cylinders without the ecu. Also remove all the spark plugs and wires before you start to crank it over. I've seen people only remove the plugs/wires from the cylinder they are testing and the car started right up

I heard this is the easiest way, but you can take the other precautions if you want to be safe.
