Archived from groups: alt>autos>honda (more info?)

I was recently surprised to learn that early 90's Accords are near the
top of the "most stolen" list in many states.

I'd like to add a kill switch and am seeking opinions on what
circuit/device is easiest to neutralize? The fuel pump seems most
likely, and accessing it shouldn't be too dificult. It's a 5 speed, so
hacking the starter solenoid, the first idea to come to mind, isn't a
fool proof solution. Any other cantidates?

Car is a 92 Accord wagon.

Thanks

-Greg

I think I'll make two - one fairly obvious that doesn't do anything (or
actually launches an alarm) and another, sneakier switch (cigarette
lighter, mirror adjust selector, etc.) to run the car.

K. I'm just trying to disuade the casual thief from making a 50 mile
dash to the Sonoran border, where many stolen cars in Arizona wind up.

Thanks
