Yes you could, but why?
It would be more effective to install a switch on the ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay, it is a low current ground, [a 1A switch is more then big enough and a lot easier to hide] and it will shut down the fuel pump, the injectors, one of the powers to the ECU/ECM and a few engine sensors. ; 94

Do you know of a DIY with pictures for doing this? I know there are some flagged DIYs but I want to do something in addition to fuel pump kill switch, or is this the same thing? All this security gets me confused. I have a headache.

Installing a switch on the ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay, [ground to fuel injector relays coil] will cut power to the fuel injectors, the fuel pump, one of the powers to the ECU/ECM and a few engine sensors, [the ground is a black lead, it is low current, less then 250mA].

Where is the ground wire? Is this as simple as doing a fuel pump kill switch?

What car do you have? On many older hondas its located right above the hood release, its a big relay, nothing like the small ones used for the k-series. If I remember right there's only one ground wire, its a great kill, have done it to nearly all the older hondas I've worked on.

You don't want to run over a raccoon and have its bloody carcass switch off your fuel pump. You'll be in trouble when his raccoon family catches up to you and avenges his death. |
That's some sick and twisted shit to say. I laughed, then I immediately felt guilty. Karma's a bitch. 
My motor doesn't exist.

Even simpler, as it is a low current ground, [less then 250mA] instead of a "high current" 12V+, [10A] so all that is needed is a small, [easy to hide] 1A SPST, [on/off] switch, this may help... http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelay.html

So you just put an extension on the ground from the relay and a spst wherever you want? (within reason)
