shortybangb Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hey friends! My 86 Starion won’t shut off when I take the keys out the ignition, I have a good batt, fuse links near batt are good and my alternator is good I am not sure what it could be, any help would be great thanks! Cheers! 👍🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Sounds like a bad ignition switch. They are easy to replace, finding one???? You might want to have a new key made first. Edited May 19, 2022 by Caliber308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortybangb Posted May 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I tried a new switch it’s not the problem either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCuda Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Does it have an aftermarket alternator or something? Has the wiring changed for any of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed a aftermarket 100 amp alternator years ago and my Starion still shuts off😉 Edited May 20, 2022 by Caliber308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortybangb Posted May 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Nope it’s original no upgrade, it does have aftermarket msd blaster 2 coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860QuestTuner Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Was anything done to car before it started not shutting off? It does sound like a bad switch or alt wired wrong but if that was tried,Sounds like something is getting back fed or eci relay is staying powered. I guess you could add a switch to coil power to shut it off temporarily, the eci relay should drop when the spark is cut. If it doesn't shut off the problem could be in the relay or wiring to it.

shortybangb Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Nothing was done to the car, I’m thinking it’s the alternator with a back feed, and I am not sure where the relay would be for that! Do u know where the relay is ? @860QuestTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
