This works. The truck starts with the switch in "on" and won't with it off. Haven't road tested yet, but should be nice going down long grades or coasting up to toll booths...assuming the PCM doesn't complain about injector flow.
Well, it did cut off fuel flow, and the truck would coast along just fine...with the engine rolling at about 500 rpms. But the engine ran rough with the switch "on"; it seems the wire length was causing issues. I might try wiring in 8 relays to a common on/off switch. But I have better fuel saving ideas to work on first...
