Most new cars if ur car is running, and unlocked after a certain time will auto lock on its own. Kind of like a child lock safety feature.

My last car would autolock all the time even if it wasn't running.

the fuel line doesnt go soft until after the fuel filter, that is a hell of a reach even with it jacked up.

Most police officers aren't trained locksmiths even though some do carry tools. We've seen more officers and firemen damage cars than actually get them open. They often just jam a tool in to the door and move it around trying to get something to happen ... no better than your friend with a coat hanger.

Wait on a locksmith.

At least when they unlock you car, the engine will be all warmed up.

I've owned two Evo's an neither of them had an autolock feature. It will relock itself if you unlock the doors with the fob then don't open one. Most cars with the autolocking feature don't do so until you drive off.

BTW,I really don't know that starving your car fuel (leaning it out) would be any better than blocking the exhaust.
