My engine keeps running after I turn it off.
My Pertronic ignition died after hooking up the adapter for the tachometer. It was working for a while. But as I was tuning the carburetors the engine stopped running and wouldn’t start again. I disconnected the MSD and the engine still wouldn’t start. I put the points in and the engine started. Then I hooked the MSD and the engine started again. But when I turn off the key the engine keeps running Has anyone had this problem before? The power to the points/MSD is an original wire from the engine relay board. Should I run a separate wire from the ignition key? |

QUOTE(chris914 @ Apr 29 2007, 08:34 PM)  Should I run a separate wire from the ignition key? only if you like burning your car to the ground ... i suspect the ignition switch. you'll fry your pertronix if you leave the key in the "ON" position. sounds like you got a faulty switch that is stuck in "ON" which would explain why the engine keeps running and why the pertronix fried ... got another switch you can try?
