Hi Bill,
Well your electronic injection would quit with ignition shut off,
but I don't think they would change the rules, we see all stock most
throttle valves, like you see three hooked to my Thunderbird:
http://www.----------.com/temp/realCables.jpg It's just Daimler that
f**ked up and probably only on their Wrangler. You'd be surprised at how
many let themselves be pull through the garage wall, or think you must
put it in park and lock the wheel as they traveling down the freeway
before they may turn off the engine. I believe Daimler has left
themselves wide open to every suit that may possibly be blamed to a
stuck throttle.
And if you were one of the guys that wanted to go fast, you'd
choose mechanical injection, like the Real trucks, and that would
require a fuel shut off:
