I'm trying to cut power to the spark plugs on the 3.6 pentastar while the motor is running (don't ask why . If i get this figured out i will show what it does.). I know fuse F70 is for the Plugs but it also is for the Injectors too which i don't want to cut power to. I want the coils wired up to a momentary switch so when i push it it cuts power, which i already have a switch for. Thank You.

Replace your current setup with this, and give it a go.

That would make what I’m trying to do alot easier, but I don’t think it’s that simple lol.
I'm sorry for the smarty pants comment, I couldn't help it.
My wife keeps telling me to be nice to everyone, but we all see it isnt working.

I do wish you good luck with your experiment though.

Not sure why you would want to do this, but an easy way to cut power on the Jeep is by adding a throttle commander like th Hikeit X9, then putting it in eco mode and turning it all the way down.

No, I want the spark plugs to shut off when I push a button essentially.

Just intercept the COP signals with normally closed relays.

This sounds like a bad idea. You trying to get it to pop like a sports car or something?

You trying to do a flame thrower from the exhaust? Off F70 you said it feeds injectors and coils. Could you intercept the coil side with a relay per something to intercept the signal going to the coils?

Have you heard of hotlicks? I might end up doing the safer more expensive route of tuning it.

That would be perfect except I can’t find a wiring diagram.

Are you catless? You don't want to shoot fuel into the Cat.

I had catless down pipes on my N54 bimmer, and my tuner was capable of dumping fuel for the exhaust "crackle." The flamethrower route would be dangerous, you don't need secondary ignition if it's done right, anyway.
