Car won't shut off
I've replaced the ignition switch, but the car still will not shut off with the key. When I turn it off, all the accessories shut off, but the motor continues to run. Luckily I have a 5 speed so I can stall it. Any ideas on where the problem could be?

Have you replaced tho ignition barrel, or the actual switch on the bottom of the barrel?
Because it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Shut down on one of these engines involves fuel cut off, injector shut down and throttle plate snapping shut. With ignition off, it should be virtually impossible for it to run.

Just the switch. When its plugged in, to the wiring harness, I can turn it with a screw driver and start the car. But again, when I shut it off, all the accessories shut down, but it keeps running.

That does always work haha. Did you trade it in or still have it?
