I really need to do this with my '97 Ranger, for a few reasons.

First off, it pisses me off when it's time to EO when I'm listening to something on the radio. If I am careful enough, I can move the key far enough to loose ignition and keep radio power, but, it usually kicks out during re-ignition. Why the hell do all the domestic manufacturers put ACC over on the other side of the OFF position? The other reason is I get an assortment of buzzes and tones when I do it from time to time. Not sure what they mean other than they are the ECU saying WTF?

My wife's '09 Sonata doesn't seem to mind this procedure as there are no CELs or tones. There is one thing it does however. After an EOC, the cruise control generally will not re-engage. The only way to reset it is to stop and restart the engine the conventional way.
