Elegant Forced Auto-Stop
Using a switch and one of these circuit boards you can get a 2000-2006 Honda Insight with a manual transmission to enter Auto-Stop at any speed. You can use this for engine-off-coasting on demand to save gas.
When wired up properly, if you shift into neutral while holding the button down you can (very lightly) tap the brake pedal and the car will enter Auto-Stop.
The Auto-Stop indicator will illuminate as normal and the car will remain in Auto-Stop until you shift into gear or tap the brake 5 times or have to brake really hard.
This is NOT an "Injector Kill" stall system common to other DIY fuel-economy enhanced vehicles, such as one might see at ecomodder.com
These are superior to Injector Kill stalls because:
You get:
(If you're in the south but you know you'll be driving north during the winter from time to time let me know and I'll be happy to send one with the extra relay and resistor.)
Tools Required for Installation:
If you have any questions, please post them here as others may be wondering the same thing.

These are superior to Injector Kill stalls because:
- All electrical systems remain powered
- Restart the car simply by shifting into gear again
- You can enter Lean Burn again after only 4 seconds delay (must wait 10 seconds w/ a stall system)
- Car will automatically restart the engine if you have to brake hard
You get:
- 1 built and programmed EFAS Circuit Board
- 1 high quality NKK SPDT Momentary switch (these will last longer than the life of the car)
- I will provide any help//photos//advice you need for installation and usage
(If you're in the south but you know you'll be driving north during the winter from time to time let me know and I'll be happy to send one with the extra relay and resistor.)
Tools Required for Installation:
- Soldering Iron
- Solder
- Wire strippers
- 12mm socket or wrench
- 10mm socket or wrench
- Pry tool or small flat-head screwdriver
- Phillips screwdriver (#2)
