Engine run on??

[DaddyA]

Hi all,

its been mentioned on here before but can't seem to find the thread???

My engine starts and runs but when you switch the ignition off it runs on, I sort of noticed before when the dash stayed on, but if i switched the lights on to main beam this disipates the power and the dash went off.

If i do this with the engine it will stop, probably not the best way to stop an engine, any ideas.

Thanks in advance of what is probably an easy remedy

Is your ignition wired up correctly for the coil?

Have you wired your coil directly off the live and not off an ignition? Sounds like your alternator is powering the coil directly.

Or the battery, mind it equates to the same thing.

Mark had the same problem I do believe and it was the alternator feeding the ignition.

Cheers Fella's,

its a sierra loom stripped to suit so hopefully wired up correctly?

CVH powered by megajolt and switched through the ignition.

Edis unit is fed from the same switched supply.

Not convinced it's the alt either, reason being if i switch the ignition fully on (not to start eng) the Digi dash, MJ powers up but when you switch the ignition off it stays powered up until the power drains ie swithing on main beam?? So the engine does not need to be running for it to happen?

Disconect the Digi Dash.
