    car won't turn off!!

    i checked my relays and my power distribution, and my ignition wires and swtich and everything is right. is there anything else that could possibly prevent a car from turning off?

    Transistor that triggers main and fuel pump relay may be bad(shorted) inside the ECU(dme).

          Thats called deiseling and his engine would have to be pretty messed up to do that. I could be wrong...but I think only things with carbs do it.

          24V M50, M3 cams, Turner Tune, full exhaust, ect....
