Dear the kick inside,

Good p.m. To disable the fuel injectors, one need only have a loop - with a switch - on one wire from the radio interference suppression relay. Open the switch, and no power flows to the injectors. As a result, the starter moves the engine, the sparkplugs fire, the valves move, but the engine does not start, because the injectors aren't working. Equally, the wire that is switched could come from the RPM/crank relay. If there's no signal from the relay, the fuel pump does not stay running, so the engine will not start.

By either means, the starter would turn the engine, and the oil pump would move oil through the system, before ignition could occur.

When the switch was closed, the flow of power to the injectors - or to the fuel pump - would allow ignition.

I think it would be well, to allow the engine to stop turning, before closing the switch, that allowed the normal starting sequence to unfold.

This would not involve getting out of the car and using a crank. Whether it would damage anything, I can't say.

Yours faithfully,

spook
