The injectors on your car have solenoid coils. I'd have to see a wiring diagram but usually one wire goes to +12V and the other to the engine computer. The computer grounds this wire to fire the injector. If you shut off the +12V they won't spray fuel. The computer opens the ground to shut off the fuel, doing it manually is easier on the + 12 V side because all of the injectors are tied together on that side.

Sort of closed, you will want a smooth transition between fuel off and fuel on.

This keeps the lube circuit going but the planetaries are still spinning wildly and will fail. Think about driving 65 MPH in first gear.
