    Quickest way and safest? Stop air flow...stall the engine by placing your hand on the throttle body.

              So is it still running? Pull the fuse to the fuel pump.

                This is why they put stall tabs on older diesels and trucks. Turn the key and pull it out and the engine can run for a while afterward unless you pull on the tab.

                Never heard of it with a fuel injected car, though.

                  So I assume it must have run out of gas by now.

                            Sadly.. He was electrocuted when he tried pulling a battery cable off to kill the engine.

                              the potatoes he stuffed in the exhaust pipe couldn't hold all the backpressure. They shot out and killed a man who was driving a mustang down the street...
