I read your linked thread Piwoslaw.
I take it the check engine light turned off after you switched the crank sensor back on ?

First plan is to pull the crankshaft sensor wire with the car running to see if it will shut down.
If that works then a switch will be wired / placed so a unplanned deactivation will not be likely and it is still easy to reach.
My car is small, everything is in reach so placement should not be much of a challenge..

bobo i think this mod is a must if, like you say ,your car is fuel injected, scary scenario you described, that would certainly wake a person up in the morning!
But kidding aside i think this mod is going to catapult my mpg to new heights.
