How do I disable fuel cutoff
Anyone know how to disable the fuel cutoff on a 92 grand marquis with the 4.6. I am prepping the car for figure 8 racing and plan on getting hit a lot. Can I just jump the two wires going to the switch in the trunk or is there more to it.
TIA

Just jump the wires or wire the pump direct from your ignition ON switch. Remember the oil pressure switch will also disable the engine and the pump thru the computer. There is a lot to setting up a car so it will take a hit, ask some of the old pro's at the track how it is done.

There is more info here in this 2001 change document and it points to other older documents. It is the first one I found with a brief search. There are many more. The rules were effective starting in the 70's. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/...PRM/Index.html

Go to the inertia switch in the trunk (driver's side) this is the button that pops up if you are in a collision. Cut the 2 wires going to it, strip the insulation, and wire nut them together. and that's it. Do it all the time around here for demolition derby cars. The 92 and up crown vics and grand marquis are doing fairly well in this area.

Thank you GLR
Did that and car ran great. Got 3rd in a 40 car enduro race but was taken out early in the demo in a hard head on collision after only 8 or ten othe r hits.

Head-ons hurt....for the future ...if the demo people let you...get rid of that aluminum bumper and put on a steel one off a 87 or older. Onr bolt out on each frame rail and the shock mount will slide out and replace it with the older bumper. Sell the aluminum one for scrape. Pull the wiring harness from up front and put it in the back towards the firewall. Get rid of the blower motor and A/C unit and make up a bracket to put the battery there. Or if allowed to, put the battery on the floor of the passenger side, or I have seen some withe the pass seat cut out so the battery sits inside the seat.

Had to leave the bumper stock. I did weld the bumper shock absorbers and relocated the battery to the passenger floor. Also welded all doors around the perimeter. Not much was going to help when the left front wheel was against the firewall and the a arm was sticking through the block. They will let you relocate the fuel tank to the trunk but it has to be a fuel cell ---- way to much work with a F.I. car with the pump in the tank.
Thanks
