Hello all,

After fixing a problem with falling off heater parts, (Thanks Mark!) I finally got my 914 back on the road yesterday.

Took it for a drive, started right up after sitting for over a month, off I went. When I returned I turned the key off and the engine kept going just like I had not moved the key! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) What the hell!?

To stop it, I put it in gear and let out the clutch with the brake on, killed it. Gen and Oil lights came on. It restarted fine - no starter issues there - then I killed it again. I then disconnected the negative terminal of the battery (large spark ensued when I pulled it off) and walked away from it.

Side note that I'm not sure makes any difference...since I've owned the car when I first start it the left & right turn signal indicators in the tach glow. Reciently, they've been glowing pretty brightly, then after running awhile they will pretty much go out. Strange, I know. Don't know if it's related to this issue or not.

Anyway, the car has never done this before. Anyone have any ideas on where to begin looking for this problem. I'd rather not sign over my paycheck to the auto electric guy but I guess I will if I have to. I want to drive my car! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Tom
