Hi,

 

Got a problem, the fuel pump fuse blew the other day, got another fuse popped it in and bobs your uncle car started again, but now when I turn the egnition off, the car still runs the egnition lights go off ect but engine still runs.

 

Any ideas and help most welcome its never done it before.

You've not got a turbo timer have you?

Mine does that sometimes? Not for long though, I turn the key off and it still runs for a few seconds? Once in a blue moon? I havnt got a turbo timer, strange

Good chance you have a damaged ecu.

Can you damage the ecu from a fuse popping Jeff? didnt realise that :-(

my scirocco does this - turn engine off - and it splutters for a second or two before she stops.. the missus calls it the rocco fanny fart!!!

 

someone told me i was getting a bit of pre ignition? but i have no idea - doesn't seem to affect the car... but what do i know?

Anythink is possible but as the fuel fuse failed it suggests something is amiss, the ouput to the fuel pump controller could of been "spiked" when the fuse blew, and in turn this caused the running on issue.

 

In all the cases we have dealt where the engine runs on when the ecu is at fault the lights on the dash like the hanbrake etc. usually go a little dimmer when the key is switched off so check that out first, unfortunately if the ecu is the problem then replacement is the only fix.

Cheers bud it does no fanny fart, the bloody engine just ticks over as the key is still in lol.

ignition switch fault ?

I've got a couple of ECU's which do this. Only cure is replacement in all the cases I've seen.

Thanks alot guys:-)

 

were is the ednition switch should I take it in the steering colum

Just another thought, do you have an alarm fitted with immobiliser ?

 

Technically the immobiliser bypasses the ignition just the same way as a turbo timer.

Cheers mate but no alarm on as yet bud.
