is there a fuel pump inertia/cutoff switch on DSMs?

[fioresvt]

and if so where is it located? i have googled it and searched on the forums and came up with nothing.

What is that? Do you mean a switch that shuts off the injectors when you let off the gas? I'm not sure what year car you have...on 1gs, the throttle stop switch is on the back of the throttle body, 2gs don't have them.

The ECU monitors the engine firing and shuts off the fuel pump should the engine stop running. As far as I can tell there isn't an inertial switch for fuel pump control.

If you were to finish filling out your profile I'd know if you were asking about a 1G or 2G.

I'm fairly sure the DSM fuel systems have no inertial shutoff switch by itself.

Now, do this:

mike thank you. Fioresvt is my cousin. he was asking about the switch that some cars have that shut off the fuel pump when there is an accident in the rear of the car. i dont believe they have them but no worries as my pos is running again.

That's the IPS (Idle Position Switch), it's built into the TPS on a 2G instead of on the back of the TB.

Sure there is a cutoff switch its called a hard left hand turn with less than 1/4 tank of gas in a 1g. :laugh:

Gee, I almost forgot about that... Thanks for bringing those memories back. That used to happen once a week in the morning making the turn across three lanes of traffic to get into the office.

my 94 tbird has a fuel cutoff switch in the trunk, one day i pressed it wondering what it would do, and it wouldnt start till i reset the ecu.

havent found anything like that in the dsm. guess if you get flipped and totalled and cant turn off the engine and fuel starts pouring out youre screwed.
