I have a son that likes to take my '01 when I'm asleep. What can I pull to make sure he can't take it?

 

Just unplug the coil.Then slide it back on JUST enough so it looks normal. It'll crank n crank. But no spark.

 

I would remove the wire completely between the coil and the distributor cap. Much harder to find one laying around than push on a few plug wires and get lucky.

Though, I would correct his behavior in taking your vehicle without your permission foremost.

 

he could always flood the engine if you pull the coil wire and have no spark

I say look into putting a cut off switch somewhere hard to find

I dont know how to wire one but i know its possible

 

could run a cutoff switch on neutral safety switch

could run one off the solenoid

 

how about hiding the keys?

 

Wow! If I had tried that with my old man when he was alive I would have regretted it enough to never do it again.

Pull the fuse/relay for the fuel pump. I don't have my shop manual here at work so I can't tell you where it is. When you hear the Blazer cranking over and over go outside and hit him with a shovel.

Just kidding, sort of.

 

There was a guy that pulled his fuel pump fuse out of his car. Kid started it and it had enough gas pressure to get him on the road past his house,which then he ran out trying to beat uncoming traffic and totalled the car. I wouldnt pull just the pump relay because of just that.

 

If you really must do such a thing, I would pull the CRANK fuse in the underhood fuse/relay center. Doing so will disable the starter. If you wanted to do this through a hidden switch, then you would need to get at the yellow wire (pin D1) in the ignition switch harness under the steering column. To do this in a reversible manner, I would recommend getting another female metri-pack 280 terminal (Napa PN 725157) and some wire. That way you can pull the stock terminal from the ignition harness connector & cut down a spade terminal to fit inside the stock terminal for the connection to the switch (tape this up to keep it together). Other wire runs from the switch to the new 280 terminal that you install back into the same cavity in the ignition harness connector.

 

thats a decent cutoff switch right there ^^
