Any problems to using a battery charger that has 125/hr amp jump start capability? I have a craftsman charger that has that feature,very handy. It s saved me several times home alone and not having another car to jump from. With the charger/jumper you are pretty much guaranteed the same cranking power from one cyl to the next. I would definitely leave a few minutes between each cylinder for motor cooling.
If in doubt about damage to the LH..EZK, just un plug them.
just an idea.

Don't do that.
One fuse, and one connector kill the fuel system, and the ignition system. If you forget that, you've got no bussness working on cars in the first place.

In my car it's the transterized ignition unit.
And no the fuse has no effect on the ignition system. The fuse isolates the fuel pump.
The connector removes power to the coil. No power, the coil won't fire, and that that. It's that simple. There is no simple easy fuse to isolate the ignition system. However, the postive side of the ignition coil will do it.

With all the plugs out, it doesn't take much to crank the engine & I have found that a fresh battery will make it through a compression test without significant discharge.
