Hey guys if youve seen my other thread i just recently purchased a 1987 TurboII well after a while i got it started runs pretty good but doesnt shut off if you take the key out of the ignitions everything else turns off power to radio n such but motor stays running i once heard about alt wires being crossed i looked and nothing any ideas??? cars been sitting for 6 months someone told me something about the main relay please need to fix that first thing
Thanks

I wouldn't think the alternater could keep the car from turning off. My guess is that you've got a crossed/shorting wire somewhere (probly under the dash if your luck is like mine). I know theres a thing called "dieseling" where the motor keeps running from a hot spot in the compustion chamber after the car is tuned off but I dont know if thats possible on a rotary. Isn't there a fuel cut when the key is turned off?

 

well this car should have any kind of crossed wiring car is 100% original never been molested any ideas on the main relay issue?

IF the alternator wires are crossed, the power will backfeed into the igniton circuit and the removal of the key will have no effect.

Next time you turn the car off and remove the key, and the engine keeps running, go to the alternator and remove the small two wire plug and see if that has an effect.

 

if it doesnt just to have an idea??? and if it does????

this happend on your old black TII. I flipped the wires to the alt. just remove the plug on the back.

 

i remember martin but remember that someone had spliced the wires on my alt? well this one is a plug? and if i remove it done i need the plug in to charge the battery???? or the plug doesnt do ****??? any ideas rest of the car i got running great today so well see
