[allstarkeep]

so i have been looking for a tutorial for fuel pump kill switch. just need a how to for the wiring of course. i have been looking but no luck so far. i just bought a 2002 wrx sedan and am so excited and happy to have it. i just want to make sure its safe.

[nagyhead]

why do you want a kill switch ? here is an ecu pinout for your car. it should help you find the fuel pump wires.

[man show]

I'm guessing he wants it as an anti-theft device to disable the car?

[allstarkeep]

yea i want it as added safety for my car

that looked like it was straight copied and pasted from god knows where

It's relatively simple. All you need is to find a wire that controls the fuel pump, for example, power. The correct way to do it is to use a relay and a switch. Then hide the switch. The ghetto way is to cut the wire and put the switch between the severed wires.

Try this link. Although it's for Hondas and Acuras, the concept is still the same.

Thanks VEW, that was easier. I'm an electrician, I have to read code all the time and THAT hurt my brain to read.

I've been back and forth on doing this to my car. At the point that they've already bypassed my alarm and broken in, if the fuel pump cuts out a block away and pisses them off, I'm not sure I'd want my car back at that point.
