Need To Trick My Cousin From Out Of Town !!!
I know this is a funny and unique request, but i was wondering if you guys could help me out lol. My cousin is coming from out of town for 3 days, and everytime he is over here he always asks to borrow my car while im at work. I can never say no to him but at the same time i don't want him driving my car because of his known driving habits. I want to temporarily do something to my car to make him think it's not in the condition to be driven. Now im not talking about the car not starting at all because he will be seeing me use it, i just want him to think that the Use should be limited, or else the car will get worse and die on me. Perhaps something that will make it shake, or make the engine or exhaust sound loud, etc. lol. Im guessing pulling a wire or 2 would make this happen. please let me know what i can possibly do to trick him with an easy fix after he leaves. Thanks for the support.

Un plug the Maf, unplug the o2 sensor to trip a cel, un plug a coil, disconnect any sensor under the hood.
Do you really need our help for this?
I simply dont understand how you cant tell the person, you dont want to let them drive you car. Sound rather foolish, and like you have some serious issues, but I dont know the whole story so follow above advice.

No wiring under the passenger seat that I can think of that would make the car shake, Only thing under there should be for heated seats and power seats.
Just trip a cel, unplug the o2 sensor in the front of the engine bay, cel will come on, and you'll get bad MPG, plus it will probably smell pretty gassy.
