Usually this can be either manually secured (Cummins) or you can rig
it to shutdown on power applied instead of removed, or replace it with
a manual lever. Older MBZ had a manual four position ****, which can
be backadapted to later Bosch pump engines. VW has an internal
solenoid but it can be removed without major pump disassembly, or if
you are replacing pump, use one with an external lever. Good injection
pump shops can do some really neat stuff.
