To all the auto stop haters, I have some bad news. I tried the tip of starting the car, popping the hood, closing it and the auto stop still shut the engine off ... sorry to give a bum tip.

Isn't there a relay or sensor that can be pulled/disabled to stop the auto stop feature?

you have to open the hood FIRST, then start the car.
