Hello i had a question on how i could make a fuel kill switch that would activate once the alarm is activated but can still use my remote start feature. I have a viper 5704v alarm installed in a 2001 dodge neon which is a manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if the alarm has an output when armed then you could interrupt the fuel pump turn on wire. The issue is if there was ever a failure with the system or was an issue where the system could be armed while driving it would kill that wire as well. I see that as a possible safety issue. If someone was to break into your vehicle and able to push start the vehicle prior the alarm going off there may be bigger issues with the system.

From a liability standpoint I really do not recommend an ignition or fuel kill. Starter kill is a much safer thing to do. With fuel or ignition kill, imagine one of the connections failing as you are pulling out in front of an oncoming vehicle and your car dies. With starter kill failure, your car will not start, but nobody dies.

Only ever cut starter all other cuts which might mistakenly bring the vehicle to a halt from moving will cause you grievous insurance hassles.
