Don\'t know off hand but another option, pull the green \'circuit relay\' from the large fuse box. They won\'t get very far without that (the car won\'t fire at all). It\'s a bit of a pig to pull out.

Yes, on an FD, the fuel pump relay does NOT stop the fuel pumping if you remove it. It would be better to find the relay or fuse for the EGI system.

Yep, pull the EGI fuse from under the bonnet.
