Ignition remaining on once key removed?

Postby randymx5 » Sat Feb 02, 2008 11:31 pm

Just as subject heading says sometimes my ignition remaining on once key removed?
why?
Bad pos/neg conection?
would/could it be due to my aftermarket computer?

Thanks in anticipation

Could be ignition barrel but isn't the problem with those usually that it won't turn on?

Maybe lose wiring somewhere, or perhaps do you have a turbo timer thats going a bit dodgy? how are you turning off the car if it stays on?

I don't think Ghost Busters have an Adelaide branch.. Hopefully it hasn't been prowling the streets at night when your asleep. Find some sort of exorcist cause your MX5 knows where mine lives...

Yup your aftermarket computer might have a turbo timer in it.

It's keeping the engine running until the coolant temp drops to a certain point.

Speak to your tuner.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Scott Hicks will direct the movie and Geoffrey Rush and Cate Blanchett will star... "The MX-5 of Doom" (or for the US market "The Miata of Mayhem") :lol:
