Default CRX won't shut off!

Well, this came up because of the wire tuck. I fixed the one code I had (mispinned a plug), but now I've still go the problem that the car turns on, but not off.

Done a fair bit of testing so far, here's what I've got:

- The wiring on my push button start is identical to what it used to be
- All the wires on the relocated fuse box are going to the correct places.
- the ignition wiring that I tucked is all together and ****
- the black/yellow to the ignitor gets no power in I with the engine off, but power in II with the engine off
- I can turn the key and pull it out but the engine doesn't quit.

Any help? thanks!

Wow, completely stumped (I'm not neccessarily a wiring Guru) but I'll give CRXBart a call and see what he thinks, but if you havent already hit up EF8Kid, he's the resident wire tuck king around these parts

Thanks anyway, homefry.

I'm trying to ponder right now if I could've mispinned anything on one of the round plugs that would cause such an issue.

Could be a faulty auto start. My friend installs them and he said that it happens every now and then.

Also hit me up on the springs you have.
I want them.

Think I had a power wire going to the main relay keeping the fuel pump on, problem solved, I believe.
