An update on the use of this injector kill switch. I find it is important to wait until the rpms hit about 1000 or lower to cut the injectors. Doing that ensures that a short cut of the injectors, which will not shut off my Ultra Gauge, is possible without unwanted engine restart when the power to the injectors is re-engaged due to relatively higher rpms. Also, there is a significant difference between alt-on and alt-off in terms of the time it takes to reach this rpm reduction. With the alt engaged, the engine slows more quickly (predictably).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
