Why does it matter that it be wired in at the ECU?  I'm sure that someone has
the schematics, but I'm also pretty sure that the clutch wire doesn't go
anywhere near the ECU.  Basically, all the clutch wire does is allow power to
flow to the starter relay when the clutch is pressed.

I decided that I didn't like that arrangement and wired my kill switch to
defeat the fuel pump.  Works fine, the car will crank, and may even fire, but
won't run.  The fuel pump wire runs along the driver's door sill (blue with
red tracer).

FWIW.
