Default Pulling Fuse to Prevent Starting

Is there a fuse I can pull for a few days that will prevent the RX300 from starting without any repercussions when I put it back?

Its been a while since you posted.


So why not remove the ground terminal?

With the immobilizer, no one can start the RX, unless they have the right key.

That leaves me to think that you have something else in mind. PM option is there if you dont want to post in public.

I'd guess it isn't going anywhere without an EFI fuse or EFI relay. Both are in the engine block fuse box.
I've never tested this though.
