Disabling an Expedition

Me and my dad have a little morning tradition of racing to the 4 way stop, in the morning, nothing illeagal just a little over the speed limit and some family fun. But I want the edge tommarrow morning, and I was wondering whats the best way to go about disabling an 04 Expedition with a 5.4L, not disconnecting the battery, because then all the clocks and what not would have to be reset, just a simple unplug and replug back in that won't cause any problems. Thanks

Find the inertia switch for the fuel pump and remove the connector that goes into it. This will kill power to the fuel pump.

That's easy

Drive it for about 55K and wait for it to fall apart, That's what my 03 did.....and I think my 05 is headed there.

Umm, last I knew, over the speed limit is illegal.

But to answer your question, you could either pile a cord of wood behind him or stuff a potato in the exhaust pipe. The backpressure will keep the engine from running.
