Car wont shutoff, no turbo timer installed?

Ok guys, i get in my car, drive to work, everythings fine. I go to shut the car off, it stumbles abit like a diesal would. Put puts for a second, so then I quickly turn the key completely to the off position. The car putters a bit and shuts off.

I go to lunch, get home turn the car off. It wont turn off. Its acting like i have a turbo time hooked up. I do not have any turbo timer of any kind installed. The car will run for an infinite amount of time I thought. Eventually it did shut down after about 2 min or so.

The only other thing is, the abs light turns on as soon as I turn the key to off and the car stays running.

Any ideas?

Gremlins. That's the only logical explaination.

I had this issue and its a wiring issue. On the drivers side left kick panel theres a bunch of wiring that, when it rains, water will drip down and corrode the wires. You basically have to clip out the connectors and hard wire everything in. Theres a how too here on EvoM, but I couldn't find it.

Thats it! I just took the connector apart and one of the pins just busted out and is stuck into the connector!

Guess its off to get some solder, and heatshrink.

If that wasn't the prob I was going to recommend checking ur vac lines. I had a crx that had a tear in the main vacum and it wouldn't shut off either.
