Does a 1994 oldsmobile regency 88 have fuel cut off?

A 1994 Oldsmobile Regency 88 does not have a fuel cut-off switch in the traditional sense like a manual switch you can flip to shut off the fuel supply. Modern fuel injection systems rely on the computer to control fuel flow. If the engine isn't running, there's no fuel being delivered.

However, there are ways to stop fuel flow:

* Inertia switch (fuel pump inertia switch): This safety device, often located in the passenger compartment, can be tripped in a collision, cutting off fuel to prevent fire. This isn't a deliberate cut-off, but it acts similarly.

* Fuel pump relay: Disconnecting the fuel pump relay will stop fuel flow. This requires some mechanical knowledge.

* Computer Failure: A catastrophic failure in the engine control module (ECM) could theoretically cut off fuel flow, but this isn't a designed feature.

In short, there's no simple on/off switch, but there are mechanisms that can interrupt fuel delivery.
