94 7.3IDI won't shut off HELP!!

[bnkrtstk]

The key turns off, all the electricals shut off but the engine still runs. How can I shut it off?

"If its still running, go out and unhook the wire on top of your pump on the drivers side that is closest to you (the wire on the driver side of the pump farthest towards the front of the engine.) that'll shut it off...sounds like you have a short...Sounds like a weekend of wire tracing is on your horizon."

This is what someone else posted a few days ago when someone had this prob. There is a thread on page 4 right now about this very same issue, check it out.

Thanks, pulling wire did the trick.

Possibly the ignition switch or key position..... check for other power on after key off. I know you checked it but...........

Thanks, I actually posted for a friend of mine who is more a diesel noobie than I. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I would guess it's more than likely the ignition switch... Right before I sold my last IDI the key switch was so sloppy that I could keep the engine running and have no accessories - the linkage/assembly was so worn up at the key tumbler that it was really sloppy. Just a thought...
