Is there a way to shut down a vehicle without having to do any major installations into the electrical system, maybe from plugging into the cigerette lighter adapter or the OBD port?

Yank the coil wire.
Did this on a DIS, thought I was bitten by a widow.

Trip the fuel pump inertia switch, or pull the connector at the switch.

As happens so often, people post a question without giving enough information. All they can hope to achieve is a simple, general answer like "turn off the key". Maybe the guy is designing his own home-made alarm or anti-theft system. Perhaps he wants to disable somebody's vehicle. He said "shut down" so that presumes that it is running at the time. If the exhaust system was leak free he could shove something in the exhaust or plug the intake air. He could throw a rag into the drive belt area, but this will cause some damage. I'm tired of musing....

I see now, okay, the OP can try grounding the coil (-) input (primary) with a 1.5-Ohms resistor, probably accessable thru the OBD II port. Indi

A screwdriver through the radiator should cause it to shut off eventually. :)

He's just a troll anyway, probably has no interest in an answer.

At 12/5/03 10:15, MaxAluminum bespake thusly:
A sufficiently large EMP should do it, with the biggest problem being acquiring the materials to generate the EMP. Might also be able to hook up a Peterbilt to a mobile unshielded MRI and accomplish the task...
