fused

[uk-rich]

which fuse di i need to pull, to stop the car from running, just need to motor the engine over to fill my new oil cooler

[Jake]

EFI fuse number one and two.
(Just number one might do it, I forget)


Or disconnect the Igniter Pack, just as easy

igniter pack sounds best, but what is that exactly, and where under the hood does it live, and what does it look like

[dangerous brain]

Right hand side as you look from the front near the suspension mount in the engine bay. Its the oblong shape box that looks like a mini stereo amplifier.

thanking you !

Surely if you kill the spark and crank for too long you'll wash the bores? Killing the injectors woud be better.

Theoretically, I suppose you're right Darren. Three to five seconds of cranking wouldn't do any damage ITRW though, would it?
(Genuine question)

[Digsy]

Probably not. I ran my car for longer than that yesterday with one or two missing cylinders just to get it to start, but that was because I didn't have much choice otherwise at the time.

If I had control over what I was doing, I'd pull the fuel, though.

Fair point. I only edited my post to add the Igniter Pack thing because I remembered that's how they did it when I had my last oil change at Max GT. Personally I don't do anything to prefill the filter when doing an oil change myself. (oh! the shame!)
