advanced timing.... I havent seen this problem for years... Good old torana's were king for this problem....

I reckon you have a wiring fault. Cause if your dash lights and tacho keep working then its not pre-ignition. I could not be pre-ignightion.

Is there a hidden turbo timer??? Cause if their is maby its set to like 10 minutes or something stupid.

If you have not timer then someone has played with your ignightion wires. If it does have a timer then check its instalation and its setting.

I dont believe it is a turbo timer problem as the tt is switched off has been for the past month or so dont use it could it be a relay, aac sticking or something as the engine just keeps running i have to stall it to turn it off

If it actually runs like the TT is working or the ignition hasn't been switched off, then it's an electrical problem that is holding the ignition circuit open / on. Why not switch the TT on, even set for 30 seconds, and see if it will turn the engine off.

If you look at the wiring diagram, you can see that the switched ignition supply goes straight to the injectors, coil as well as the ecu power relay etc.

Something is allowing power to run through the ignition to all the above hardware.

Nothing will be sticking that will cause this.

Remove your turbotimer wiring for starters and i would be suprised if this problem does not go away.

i was wondering if you could help my car has an alarm fitted as well as not having a igntion harness so the wires have been spliced into. My belief is the timer is a switch and you would have to cut a igntion wire and then bypass through the timer and wire it back into the igntion wires on the other side. If i am correct which colour wire would you have to re wire to form the circuit again.

Can you please help my car wont switch off when i have turned the ignition off and pulled the keys out would someone please tell me what i could have alook at or what things need to be fixed

did you just get a new alarm?

I had this problem after my new alarm was installed, some of them come with inbuilt turbo timers and you can adjust the time or completely switch them off.

I just turned it off and use my original turbotimer

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
