how to kill power to injectors?

Hey, I am gonna need to stem my flooding problem so for now I want to know how I would go about killing power to my fuel injectors so they loose pressure and dont flood my engine. If anyone knows of a way to do this or a better way please let me know. I was thinking of just mounting a switch in my car so when I pull up to my destination I could flip the switch, kill the gas and thus keeping car happy. Anything please

You can borrow my FPR once I get it changed, it seems to be doing a damn good job of bypassing too much fuel and making the injectors run lean, lol...You have to ride over some bumps to "activate" this phenomenon, however

I'm assuming you already know about the fuel cut-off switch...

Hmm, I originally wired mine per Kevin's site, didn't seem very difficult to me...Only had it on there for a while, then took it back off. You gotta figure, it's just a bandaid on a bleeding wound- there are other problems you need to fix if you have to use a kill switch to get her started...

If you don't want to cut any wires, just pull the circuit opening relay under the dash there, but I wouldn't consider that more than a short term fix, either. And, you don't want to wear out the contacts pulling the relay a hundred times...

No power to fuel system = starve engine/stall -> No flooding cuz no fuel to flood.

at the relay under the steering column like wayne said you can splice into the small black with white strip and brown marker that is the one that comes off the fuse if i remember correctly get 2 sets of connectors and some wire with spst switch and a good location. that should do it for the fuel cut out . good luck
