anti-theft chips ?

Dave,

"Under cranking the line from the FP relay is overridden by the oil pressure
switch and the car will fire right up (crank for 10-15 seconds)"

I wired up a FP kill switch by taking the FP ground into a toggle switch. 
 Worked great when I had it installed (took it out some time ago).  Are 
you saying that its not suppose to work that way even though it worked that 
way in my instance?  MORE DATA:  I had the kill switch installed when I 
replaced my fuel pump with the Walbro 255ltr/hr pump.  After replacing the 
pump it no longer worked.
