You want to crank the engine w/o firing the ign coil or any injectors?

If you simply disconnect the low voltage connector on the distributor - the
ECU won't know that you are cranking the engine over.  This avoids:
1) Gas squirting out of the injectors
2) Electrons squirting out of the ignition coil

I'm a proponent of the easy way.  But if you like -instead you can pull the
fuel pump fuse, drain the pressure, remove ignition wires, attach an array
of properly grounded dummy spark plugs and proceed on... :)
