Where is the emergency fuel shut off switch on a 1994 Pontiac trans am?

There isn't a single, readily accessible "emergency fuel shut-off switch" like you might find on some equipment or boats on a 1994 Pontiac Trans Am. Fuel delivery is controlled by the fuel pump, which is electrically controlled and can be disabled by removing the fuel pump relay (which is under the hood in the fuse box or relay center; location varies slightly by model year and options), or by a fault in the car's electronics.

To stop fuel flow in an emergency situation with a 1994 Trans Am, your best course of action is to:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "off" position. This is the most immediate and effective way to stop fuel flow.

2. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal. This will completely cut power to the entire vehicle, including the fuel pump. This is more involved, but ensures no electricity reaches the fuel system.

Important Note: Never attempt to manually shut off fuel flow by tampering with fuel lines directly. This is extremely dangerous due to the risk of fire and serious injury. Always prioritize disconnecting the electrical supply as described above.
