Fuel Pump cut off

[Nerys]

my issue is not turning off the car but turning it back on. Is there a way to do this without the starter? In my old E150 van stick with dual tanks when I was not paying attention and ran out of fuel the engine would die I would simply flip the tank switch and within 30 seconds the engine would just start right up again and off I go.

Is there anyway to do THIS? IE my idea is a kill switch momentary. I press the button the car shuts down I release the button it starts up again without the starter (like the van did) if thats possible. Suggestions?

I am also thinking a FOOT switch to engage the starter. so with my left foot I can depress the switch to restart the engine (for when I slow down too far to restart normally or if I EOC to a stop etc..)

Suggestions?

[QUOTE=JohnnyGrey;23986]So then your ECU is trying to ground 12v? That can't be good.

Yes, that is exactly how most systems work. Keep in mine there is a big resistor in series called a fuel injector.

Just put your momentary kill switch right in the power wire to the injectors.

Second pic switch mounted on shifter knob.

Thanks John, I'm going to try to find electrical schematics for my PT Cruiser so I can do just that.

I knew that much. By the way you wrote it, I thought your kill switch supplied + to the switched side of the injectors, rather than cutting off the + to the common side.
