    My 323 won't shut off when i turn off the ignition

    Yesterday when i turn off the ignition of my car, the engine was still running upon turning on & off the ignition switch the engine kept on running. I had to stall the car for it to shut off & after the engine shut off i notice that the lights in the cluster is still on. This started after when the turbo timer was counting down from 30 sec & when it reach 0 the engine kept on running, i set @ 30 sec again and the same thing happen again. Then the timer started flickering on & off repeatedly, it eventually stop but the problem of the engine & the ignition not shutting off still remains.

    What could be the cause of malfunction?

    the electrical part of the ignition switch looks like its gone bad.

      I'd remove your TT and make sure it's not causing any issues. I've had my TT wiring harness melt and cause weird issues before.

        Sounds like the selector contact on the ignition switch may be going bad, BUT if your TT is acticg up, Ide say elimintate it all together in the wiring to count it out.

            I think ignition swich is not working on your vehicle.Try to repair it if possible or you need to replace it.

              Turbo timer? I had no idea people still used those things. Disconnect it, isolate it from the equation, report findings.
