The inertia switch is the closest thing to a fuel pump safety switch in a 1997 Firebird. It's designed to cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a collision. It's usually located in the passenger compartment (often under the dash or in the glove box area) and has a reset button.
Other safety mechanisms that indirectly affect fuel pump operation include:
* Cranking circuit: The fuel pump only activates when the ignition switch is turned to the "on" or "start" position.
* PCM control: The PCM monitors various engine parameters and will disable the fuel pump if it detects a problem (like a crash, engine overspeed, etc.).
So while there's no separate switch to manually cut the fuel pump, the inertia switch and the overall vehicle safety systems provide protection.
