I don't think I made a thread about it. I just installed a switch that interrupts the ignition power going to the main relay. It's the black wire with the yellow stripe. I used a defroster switch from a 3rd gen Civic, but almost any switch will work. My switch is just simply on/off, but you could also use a normally-closed momentary switch. The way I've wired it, the ECU just thinks you've turned the key off. Except you still have wipers, turn signals and other accessories. And you're not wearing out the ignition switch. I did it this way because I didn't like other methods of interrupting sensors or injectors. I suppose you could interrupt the ECU power after the relay to reduce wear on the main relay. I'm not too worried about it, plus I carry a few spares!

Gasoline Fumes has been a real help with Skiddy so far, even behind the scenes!
Great having people who know EXACTLY what you're talking about - Thanks Gasoline Fumes! This is another nice and cheap idea to keep things moving along, and to keep the mpg's coming. This will also need to happen soon!!
Thanks,
Victor
