Kill switch for 88-95 Honda Civic/CRX/DelSol

[harry81]

old post but thanks was planning to do a kill switch on my 95 civic

I just finished installing the basic kill-switch. It is cool that the engine dies instantly but do not like the fact that the odo/speedo dies as well. Gonna change the wiring today to accomodate the advanced setup

Has anyone done the kill switch mod as an ignition kill only? If you have, and been living with it for a period of time, please let me hear from you.

From reading all of this, I'm still unsure about killing just the ignition. My rational behind wanting to kill just the ignition, is it's on a relatively small (fuse capacity) circuit and located conveniently behind the left side of the dash. The fuel pump is on a circuit with a very large fuse located in the engine compartment. The manual says its CB box is a watertight box. As the car came with a 100,000 mile warranty, I believe that the mod would be obvious if done to the fuel pump circuit and would likely have an adverse affect if a warranty issue arose.

You could make something worth a solenoid valve and the existing fuel lines that bolts in, that way it's removable.

I'm confused as to what kill switch to place in my car :/ .. Any help?

Edit: I mean, in which way should I do it? The first or second guide? Or neither?

You know, it occurs to me that, unmarked and left in the off position when you park your car, kill switches could be a great anti-theft device since so few car thieves will ever have encountered them, know how to use them, know how they are wired. DIY is power!

Some insurance companies consider it an passive security device, resulting in additional discounts.

Easiest for you is an injector kill. There is a single power wire that feeds a resistor box, it's the only wire on the box that is a different color. The box is a finned aluminum case mounted on the drivers strut tower.

Switch inline with the different colored wire will kill power to all four injectors. This assumes you mean the CRX.
