First of all.. why?

The wires obviously run to the pump in the tank. Just remove your back seat and trace the wires. That's what I would do...

i would only use it if i go to places i dont trust. and i would put the switch in the trunk so i would only have to open the trunk to put it on, its not going to be used everyday just when i go to shady places. i know their are a few wires there but i just want to know the correct way of doing this without F'ing up the motor.

Just leave off the center bolt that holds your rear seat bench down, and when you want to disable the pump, pull the rear seat up and disconnect the plug. If you want to annoy thieves some more, take your ECM out and take it with you, or lock it in the trunk.

Just a little extreme.

Man, all you have to do with that pump wire is test to see which one is hot when the ignition is on. Cut that wire and run both ends to the switch in your trunk.

The one that is hot coming from the front of the car will go on the (+) part of the switch, the one going back into the pump will be the (+ accessory) part of the switch and then you'll have to ground the switch to the chassis. Simple!
