I think it would depend on the car. Here is what I would do if I were you :

1 - Find the fuse (if it exists)
2 - Make sure you have a spare fuse just in case
3 - Idle the car in neutral in the driveway
4 - Pull the fuse out
5 - Watch what happens (engine should stall)
6 - Look for warning lights on the dash

Let me look around for a moment ... rummage rummage rummage ... here it is :

more info:
If the inline fuse burns out, just unplug the whole kill switch circuit and plug in a fuse till you can fix it. No kill switch till then, but the car will run

I didn't have a burnt out fuse, so I popped one on the battery with a jumper. whee.

This technique is sure to work on a lot of different cars.

It varies somewhat for each model. Here is what I put in my metro (and the rest of the thread us useful to):

I used the same switch in my saturn, but just put it in line with the FI (presumably Fuel Injection) fuse and didn't cut any existing wires.

An ignition kill switch is also popular.

It is pretty easy given some basic electrical skills.

I just did it on our 97 sw2, I found an "inj" fuse under the hood and put a micro switch inline with it and glued the switch to the auto shifter (index finger friendly position), bada bing.

(ok technically an injector kill switch, even better)
