That's one way. As long as the fuel rail is connected, I used to pull the injector fuses - both right there on the fuse panel. But, Pete put me on to flooring the accelerator - which puts the ECM in the "clearing flooded engine" mode (at under something like 400 rpm, i.e. starter only speed) which cuts off the injectors which = not having to pull any fuses. (When he told me about it, it was one of those "slap forehead with palm - DOH!! - kind of moments )

Just a thought...
