My cousin's 04' Mustang wont turn off. We have to stall out the car to turn it off........We can take off the key and everything... Any suggestions?

 

it's called dieseling. it happens when the combustion chambers build up enough heat to ignite the fuel mixture without a spark. it usually doesn't happen with fuel injented cars though

 

Is it actually running or dieseling like deezelnut said?

 

i laughed like crazy when i heard this! The car is just like the key is on and at idle. The engine keeps running after you turn the ignition off. You can have the key away from the car and its still running. There just no cutting of the ignition. Kinda funny seeing em stall out the car everytime he wants to stop. lol[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

hmm, weird ****. Talked to the guy that owns the car now and, now the car wont start...?? hmm....

 

Ignition switch.

 

+1, or possibly the actuator rod from the cylinder to the switch

Is the radio still on when the key is off?
