Looking for a how-to for kill switches
It's finally nice enough out to do these so I'm gonna do it before something bad happens. Does anyone know of a website or anything that shows which wires to use for the switch and what not? Thanks.
Interested in fuel pump, starter, injectors

Re: Looking for a how-to for kill switches (MachAF)
You will need the Helm's for your car. Order it from the back of your owner's manual.
You should consider killing each of the following components.
Possibly with separate methods:
Starter.
Fuel Pump.
Injectors.
This is because the starter can be bypassed by rolling the car in gear. The fuel pump will not kill the car until a minute or so after it starts. Plus only killing the fuel pump will create an air bubble in the injectors. And I would not want the injectors stopped and the fuel pump running.
I say kill them all.
As discussed before, hide all of your wiring VERY well. Don't be afraid to dissassemble parts of your car to hide things. Again the Helm's will help with this.
You should purchase ONLY quality BOSCH relays, they are trustworthy and pass durability and load tests other relays are not even put through. (Purchase them at www.partsexpress.com). I wouldn't trust my fuel system to anything else.
Set up the relays so that they are activated by a momentary button (or seatbelt), and remain on until the ignition is shut off. That way, if you have to unbuckle your seatbelt, the relay remains activated and your car will not starve for fuel.
Set this up regardless of how the relays are activated (hidden switch, seatbelt buckle, AC control, radio, etc.) You can find wiring instructions and assistance on www.the12volt.com.
Good Luck.

This one is pretty clever: http://www.autospeed.com/A_0059/cms/article.html
A kill switches just throws a relay so the car wont start until a person finds the switch and throws it. Usually connected to the fuel pump, starter, coil etc
