I don't want to smoke the electronics on my 2.6mpfi in the process with my arc welder. Any tips on isolating the electrical system so I still have a working vehicle when I'm done or is it a non-issue if I keep the ground close to the site of the welding?

If you are still worried, disconnect the ECU.

I figured it was that easy, but never hurts to make sure.
