MaTTSuN Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I have been having this problem with my car that i cant stand anymore when i turn the key off the engine keeps running, everything else goes out but the engine. i have been stalling it out to stop it and im sure that's not a good thing to do for too long im sure its been disused but the search is not working right now thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Did you recently install an internally regulated alternator? If so, when you did the wiring did you include a diode? Without the diode you get the run on symptom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 is the diode that little silver can? i replaced it a while ago maybe a year its been doing it the last month or so ill check it out, i have a couple extra ones i think kicking around. sometimes it works but its rare maybe 1 out of 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 No thats a capacitor, the thing i'm talking about is when you remove the external regulator and connect a few wires seen here http://www.zcarcreations.com/howto/voltreg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
