Fixed ignition barrel now got more probs!

Post by MattyB »

Hi all, I've finally managed to get my ignition barrel finished, fitted and starting.

Only issue I've now got is once the car is started I turn the key back and through each stage the car is still running! The only way it turns off is when I pull the key out of the ignition!!

Any ideas??

Thanks

Yes get a new one, the reason it dosen't turn off is because it's broken, probaly taken from a stolen car that's had a screwdriver in the ignition, so someone could come along and do same to urs lol

get a new black ignition cap with the wires from the scrappy, contacts inside you old one are worn and could cause a engine fire because your starter could be constantly enganged when your engine is running
