Fitted my vauxhall turbo engine in my e30, turn the key she runs but cant turn engine off. Have fitted a battery isolation switch turned that off still runs turned key off still runs, had to pull conection off the coil to stop it, any idea's guys. The only wire i've used on the bmw c101 is the black/ yellow to power to power the starter solonoid, their is no dash so no charge lught ect

If it has a coil, petrol would be my guess. :wink:

Check the ignition switch is actually working.

Ecu powerd from battery and a little black wire that power's the loom (not sure if it should be constant or switched live) to feed the loom, starts from the key but does not turn off.

Yes i have a small video on my phone but don't have time to sort out photo shop or whatever it is to get pick's or vids on this sight, i could send someone the vid from my htc phone and they could put it up for me.
