Where is the fuel cut off switch?

Post by edward_rose_77 »

Does anyone know where this switch is on a 1993 mx-3? The switch I'm speaking of is the one that cuts fuel when an accident occurs. I'd like to find out the location before I rip apart the entire back of my car. Most of those plastic pop-outs don't go back in.

Thanks,
Edward Rose

I don't think a mx3 has a fuel cutoff switch. I know my bro does on his probe, but I haven't seen one on a mx3

Don't know either but you can just take out the fuse for the fuel pump, turn the car on and wait for it to die. That'll cut the fuel :P

no such thing, you generally have to install one of those yourself...

Why take out the fuse when you can just disconnect the plug that's underneath the rear seats =/

Anyone ever thought of putting in an inline valve, like on 2 strokes? Not sure why though... just for fun? :P

Our would that just fry the pump?
