Pull fuses to prevent engine startup?

To prevent the engine from starting and the alarm still function.

Should I pull the PCM BAT and PCM IGN fuses while the ignition is off? Just want to add some additional temporary security.

i wouldnt pull the pcm bat fuse because you will reset the pcm every time you pull it and your pcm will be relearning every time

Ok thanks. So just pull the PCM IGN fuse, or some other one?

I would like to know also. Would come in handy if your where to accidently spray a shot of nitrous when the motor wasn't running.

Because if you have a engine full n2o you do not want the engine to fire. pulling the fuel pump fuse would keep it from cranking up but the spark plugs would continue to fire and kaboom
