i think your problem will be from the ignition switch, it sounds like someones bypassed an immoboliser, i would of thought if you had no feed to the fuel shut off, it wouldnt run at all, when you return the key to off it cuts the feed and shuts the fuel off, could be wrong tho :) :( i'd get an auto elec on it

Yeah you have to turn ignition on so lights are on then press switch to start it,as soo as ignitionb is turned off the car wont run so think ignition is ok?

so if i have this right :blink:you have fitted a new fuel cut off soloniod, you cannot switch off the car at ignition :) which would indicate a permanant live to the shut off soloniod instead off a switched live,

follow the wires at the back off ignition to see if you can find a splice , you may then be able to correct it from there,

 

its just difficult from here to see whats been messed with
