Hi guys,


I have just bought a VP commodore after the old VN was stolen and written off. But my old man is adamant that he wants to instal a Kill Switch, to kill the ignition. Normally he would have one for the injectors, or the fuel pump, but this car is dual fuel, so it sort of has to go on the ignition somewhere.


BUT WHERE??


Has anyone done one of these and how did you wire it up??


Any other ideas for a kill switch??


I thought of maybe the crank angle sensor, but these are tempremental enough with out mucking with them...


Ideas please???


cheers

hey, my mate has a VN with a kill switch, he went to a auto place and bought a electronic cut off tap. acts like a solenoid for gas, switch it on, pin drops and cuts off fuel. the on/off switch was connected to the a/c button, but it had no ac on it

The changeover switch for petrol/gas has a power lead going to the centre which routes power to either the gas or petrol. You should be able to rig a switch into that and it will kill both.

thanks John, I will look into that a bit more.


But the cunning old bugger had my car all pulled apart and bits everywhere. When I asked what the hell he was doing, he just said with a sly grin that I would see. I left him too it and went into tow

You could make life a bit more difficult by wiring in the power lead to the coil packs to the kill switch so it kills the ignition as well. You could crank all day then and not start.

Kill switches are easy to install and on the late models there are a number of items that you can wire it into.


EFI relay
Injectors
Starter
Coil pack
Fuel pump
main computer
Crank angle sensor
MAP sensor
etc


All can be "hotwired&q
