Hmmm... If it's the fuel cut solenoid, I doubt that you would be able to start the car without it connected. If you're not blowing fuses with this device disconnected it must be the issue that's causing the fuse to go to god.

I'd have that solenoid replaced and go from there, it's there for a reason even if we don't fully understand why. It could also be a safety device in the event of an accident :confused:
