well i have had this civic for a few weeks and all the sudden today it wont cut off turn the key down still running driving me crazy so i need to know where to start
so far i disconnected the dizzy to cut it off
if i disconnect the battery all dash lights stay off but as soon as i turn the key up then back down it does it again also the switch still is working if i have the fan on with the key all the way up it blows turn the key down it turns off but the car still runs
help?

checked and good im not sure where its coming from but the main relay is keeping a very small amount of power enough to keep the relay stuck if i manually pull the magnet and what ever the piece of metal is apart inside the relay with the key down it wont pull it back so im going to pull the multi meter out and see how many volts it is keeping in there anyone have a pin out for the relay

Why not pull the fuel pump fuse? That will kill it.
