Hi Ed;
    Ok, I just gotta be different. I just use the key switch to shut down. This removes power from the bus that feeds the injectors, ignition, EC2 & fuel pumps immediately. Engine shuts down instantly just like an auto, never had a problem using this method. In case anyone would point out the single mode failure, etc of this, I should also add that I have these items fed from my critical system/endurance buss so this switch can be bypassed.

 Yippee!  ,  err......urmp... I mean we now have two more respondents - with their preference for engine shut down.  I know I had decided to stop the survey - but, how could I when one of the latest respondents also uses the disable switch {:>)

 Ok, heard from two  more, the count now is  out of 11 respondents (including yours truly), it looks like the methods of engine shut down are:

 

9 - turn off fuel pump

 

2- Disable injector

 

(can't remember whether I counted Rusty, then concluded he didn't count anyhow {:>)

 

 

 Clearly fuel pump shut-off is the method preferred by the majority and I don't think further respondents is going to change that to any meaningful degree.
