Default Engine not shutting down completely...

ok here is the scoop... i have the 90 hatch dx b16a swap in. my friend and i use butt-connectors(lol) to wire the engine up. anyway engine runs fine no code whatsoever. i went back and solder every wire we butted " 1 at a time ". so i doubt i got any wire crossed up. anyway got it finish... starts no code but when i turn the car off engine stays on. i'm able to pull the key off the ignition and engine stays on ... any suggestion would be appreciated.

Edit: ok i done some more test... thinkin it was the ignition housing... so i turn the car on with the use of a flat head on the ignition switch. everything fired up fine. but again at off switch still the cars engine running. but when i let the car die but lettin it catch in gear even with no power to radio no key in the ignition... i hear noise comin out the injectors or i'm thinking its the injectors. its like i'm gettin constant power to whatever keeps the cars engine running... i tried eveything. so i'm thinking on just installing a kill switch to the grounds main relay to kill the car. help me out if you can please....

what does this yellow/white stripe wire come from?

edit: okay, so i happened to be looking through the Haynes manual(awesome thing to have around. they actually have useful information in em.. like wiring diagrams..) and i looked at the main relay, it has a Y/W wire coming out of it which heads to a 15a fuse for the ecu, then turns into a white wire, heads to a 45a fuse, then a 55a fuse, then to the battery.
