Thanks mate.Damn not convenient.
Apart from the ECU Fuse is there another one that I can pull out in the fuse box in the car that will prevent the car from starting?

Careful when u pull out ECU Fuse. You have to start car and let idle for at least 10 minutes minimum or Radiator fan kick in twice to allowing your ecu to "learn". Check this link http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38742

^^ Yeh totally resetting the ECU fuse.That's why it's better to not take it in or out.

probe the main relay with a test light till you find the fuel pump power wire, then wire a switch in series to it.

I'm will be installing a fuel pump cut off switch but I was just wondering if there was a fuse I could remove aswell.

I check the Honda Civic (96-98) Service Manual, page 14-40. I think we can pull out fuse No.42 (20A) (Ignition fuse) or No.44 (15A) (PGM-FI relay fuse) of Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box to prevent the car from starting.

Thank U.I'll give that a go

I think this sort of thing would be handy to know if you park ya car in a dodgy area.I mean not that you would but on the rare occasion there's no option...
