FAS/EOC kill switch on 8th gen civic

Hi All- I'm looking to make my HM routine simpler. As such, I'd like to implement a kill switch on my R18 - rather than having to turn the key off and back on.

I've search this forum but didn't find anything specific to the 06-11 civic (mine is a '08 if it matters).

Generally I've read about two approaches: 1. Cutting power to the fuel pump and 2. Cutting power to the fuel injectors.


I've read that the best method is option 2. I've read on other forums that some cars have a fuse dedicated specifically to powering the injectors- and interrupting this circuit via a switch works.

Is there such a fuse on my Civic? If so, has anyone done it- and does it work? Is there another/better method for the Civic?

Either a fuse or a relay that powers the ejectors. Earler civics have a PGMFI relay, that by cutting the power (or ground) to will kill the injectors. Don't know about the new ones though. There is a discussion on 5th and 6th gen civic kill switches here.
