tell them to just pull the plugs and then crank the engine. that'll "remove the gas" from the cylinders. then when the plugs spark, the airborne fuel will take care of itself.

but hide in the bushes near by to watch the fun show. get video. call 911 too.

 

When I reinstalled one motor I pulled, I accidentally pinched the injector wiring harness under the engine hoist bolt/hook. This grounded the injectors so when I turned they car on, they basically dumped fuel and hydrolocked the motor.

Don't have anyone smoking in the vacinity when you pull the plugs and crank the motor over!

Unless it is someone that you REALLY hate and it's not in your garage

 

of course one could just unplug the ignitor, or the cas, or the ecu...

 

or get that breaker bar out and turn it by hand. with a sponge on top the motor.

 

get a spray bottle of whatver kind, unscrew the top and pull the assembly off with the siphon tube, insert into chamber, pump away into a cup or something.

 

What they don't have a computer? I assume you told them about miataturbo.net?
