Wouldnt it be easier to try to find a plug that controled spark under the hood? you would have to jack it up to pinch a line anyway. Im not sure but arent must of the lines hard lines anyway.

Trying to kill the engine? Just install an HKS SSQ VTA BOV and pull the throttlebody lever

Removing the LICP might work though, so will breaking the front windshield and claiming a rock hit it (in FL windshields are free). I would just call pop-a-lock though.

It comes down to the fact he locked his keys in his running car with no spare.No way to B.S. your way out of it.And some of us don't know how a vehicle functions beyond the turning of a key.

I use my turbo timer to cool down the turbo AND warm my car up in the morning. Get in, start the car, set the timer for 5 min or something, get out WITH THE KEYS, and use the remote to lock car. My friends envy that I don't have to stay in the cold while my car warms up.

sorry i didnt post last night. but the lock smith unlocked it at 830. the first guy i called apparently is a fraud, thats what the second guy said. so i waited 4.5 hours for nothing. mean while yeah the car was on the whole time, and i tried to pinch the fuel line but i couldnt do it cuz the pliers i had sucked. so my car had been running for 6 hrs, and the needle said it only used up less than a quarter of a tank of fuel so... not sure how accurate but thats what it said. But d*mn when i got into it the tranny was sooooooooo smooth!!! i thought that was cool

what do you mean by lean? and that would make sense to pull the LICP off cuz then i could cover it up and it would die. hum reminds me of something on the news recently only with a person

yeah call the cops next time. dont quote me on this but I heard if the car is running, the cops will do it free of charge at your township, but if you just locked your car and the engine not being on, you have to call a locksmith or some sort.
