Hi people. I have been lurking around quite a while now, and though my own EFI project won't start seriously for another month or two I have a related question. The scenario is this. I installed a anti-hijack/tracking unit in my car (Audi-EFI). The immobilizer relay (to disable the car in event of an hijack) is connected in series with the booster pumps' fuse, ie when the car is immobilized the main fuel pump will run dry. When this happens what damage will be caused to the engine systems? I'm quite willing to accept an amount of damage in return for recovering my car, and the immobilizer will only be actived with my constent, but knowing what will break would be nice.... ;-) Does anyone know whether the fuel pump is switched off immediately when the engine dies of fuel starvation?
