If I unplug my fuel pump while the car is running........

.....will the engine immediatley die? or will it run for a few seconds before it dies?

It'll run for a little bit before stalling.

#1 why?

#2 I have a fuel cut of switch in my ashtray and shut it off (while car running)
to bleed off pressure, theft deterrent, etc.

Car will run for about 20 seconds sputter and die. But I know she's faking. LOL

the fuel under pressure in the lines will still be sucked by the engine for whatever amount of time. not even 20 secs.

My system omits the backflow valving and the car dies immediately.

#1 why?

I did this once...

I locked my keys in the car with it idling in the driveway, with a 1/4 tank of 116! I didn't want to waste that expensive gas!!!

Just thought it would be a good theft deterrent. But if it can run for 20 seconds it makes me wonder how far one could get with it. (I know not far but far enough that it could get in the road/have another accomplice push it with their car)

theft deterrent

put a stack of play girls on your passenger seat then get some white shampoo or dish washing detergent and poor some on your steering wheel,shifter and center console this is a good theft deterrent,unless your car thief is gay
