Interupting my Crankshaft position sensor didn't kill it

So a couple weeks ago I spent $10 for 3 days of access to the Honda/Acura Tech manual website so I could print off the wiring diagrams for the Crankshaft Position Sensor under the dash. It took me a while to get around to it, but tonight I finally got around to wiring in my normally closed momentary open switch and it doesn't work. Or it does interrupt the signal, but the computer overrides it or something.

What happens is when I push the switch it almost stalls, then recovers. If it push it again, it does the same thing unless I push and hold it, in which case it almost stalls, but recovers and then if I push it again, it doesn't even hesitate. Not sure what is going on, but it's not working as a kill switch like it should. Any thoughts?

My only thought is that it uses several signals to determine a stall and if the Camshaft sensors are still providing a signal, it must override the crankshaft sensor. Just a guess.
