  • Anti-theft vehicle system
    Patent number: 4991683
    Abstract: An anti-theft vehicle system comprises a relay (R1) which shuts off power to an engine coil (14), fuel pump (16) or fuel flow valve (50) to prevent the engine from starting until the reset device in the form of a switch (S1) or a keyboard (150) is activated. Relay (R1) is controlled by a processor (100) which is coupled to a keyboard (150) so that when a code is keyed into the keyboard (150) the processor outputs a signal to the relay to cause the relay to supply power to the engine coil (14), fuel pump (16) or flow valve (50).
