Or cut the signal from one of the sensors. As Andrzej mentioned, my kill switch is on the crankshaft position sensor, since the lack of this signal tells the ECU to turn the engine off. Manually forcing a kill (via fuel, injectors, or ignition) may cause some damage, and/or make the ECU throw a code, or even go into limp mode. Letting the ECU go through its own engine shutdown procedure seems to be safer in newer models, though also risks getting a code.
