I just hooked my new wiring harness up, started the car and now it won't turn off. I tried sticking teh key back in and turning it to off and taking it out but it continues to run! I also disconnected the positive AND negative cables to my battery and the engine won't stop running!! Please Help!! LOL, I'm new to this car thing hahaha

HELP!!!

 

disconnect fuel pump relay under steering column (its black/yellow thing)

 

Not seein' it... GAH!

 

And I have lights on the dash... the warning console has eBrake and Door lit up (naturally cause teh eBrake is on and teh door is open) but how is it getting power? That's ridiculous!!!

 

This can't be good for my engine...

 

omg thats crazy.. now that i think about it its kinda funny... i guess right now its not funny to u, but later in life... oh my suggestion is to wait till u run out of gas haha... oh another way is to just drop it in gear and stall it... hhm if u want to u can disconnect the spark plug wires.. its going to shock u. but it doesnt hurt that much haha really it doesnt

 

its running purely off of the alternator

 

This is one to add to the... "You know you're an RX-7 owner when..." thread in the lounge.

Yes, I know I'm an RX-7 owner because my flippin' car won't turn off... hahah!!!!

and with my broken racing beat exhaust it's LOUD!!!


PuuuUUUuUUUUR PuuuuuUUUUUUr PuuuuuuUUUUUr GAH!

 

Pull the fuses in the engine bay man.. Problem solved.,

And its continuing to run because your Alternator is feeding back. YOu have a bad alternator.

 

just unplug the fuel pump connector on the driver rear shock tower.

 

I killed it, yay, no unplugging necessary, I just put it in reverse and let off the clutch.

 

Cars will continue to run with the battery disconnected, if key is on, but it plays hell with the regulator.
Anyway, E brake on, foot on brake, put it in 4th gear and let the clutch out.

 

WTF? U gotta love these cars Huh? I get a good laugh on here everyday at someone else's expense.... I wonder when it will be my turn AGAIN? (as I wait for the new alternator to be delivered & watch my battery charge up AGAIN!!) Just another day in the life of the "7"

I hope those suggestions were all jokes except putting it in gear and letting the clutch out.

 

hahha but shh dont tell him.. lol

 

Yea, just thorw it gear and let off the clutch.. if it were a auto.. you could just unhook the afm.. :-)

 

Mine wasnt... Who is laughing?

I failed to notice on the thread where he specified it was a 5sp. Could have been an Auto.

 

Actually I prefer your method over all the other ones.

 

wouldnt the fuses blow? i know he can just go get some new ones.. but wouldnt they blow.. the way i think of it as, is that the electricity will arc and blow the fuse.. but that just a guess.. anyone care to try? for um, scientific purposes?

 

oh btw jrat i think that he was talking about my suggestions.. when i saw yours i was like sh*t y couldnt i have thought of somthing technical like that too say haha.

 

oh wait no what higgi said was the technical one.. meh oh well

 

I'm just glad it's not running anymore LOL
