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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)
