I turn off the key but the engine keeps running.
This is a new problem after adding the MSD. Key turns off the power, I know, because I can hear the fuel pump turn off. It eventually shuts off after turning the key off/on/off/on or revving the motor with the key off. What should I do? Performance is spectacular, except gremlins are tenants.

My Hyfire did this last night. Only it was ANDY induced. I needed a switched power. So I figured I could use Andy's version of providing power from fuel pump. So I hooked up the jumper wire from the 4 prong FI to ground bingo 12V. However the dang thing wouldn't shut off.
So I moved the 12v source to share the black purple that used to go to the coil positive with the Compufire unit. Works great. Dark and rainy here today so I will clean up the engine compartment wiring and (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) oh yea my tach don't either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) So I need one of them adapters. Wife is going to take the plastic pretty soon so I better get it quick. |
