The car wont turn off and the engine still runs?
I drive a 1991 Buick Regal Gran Sport
I drove the car home and parked it, and when I turned the key toward me to turn the car off, nothing happened. I can move the key all I want, but the engine is still running. I removed the key and put it in my pocket, yet the car is still running – engine and all. I unplugged the battery while the car was still running (and lived to tell about it). So now the battery is disconnected and the car has stopped, but technically the car is still on. What could’ve caused this?
If you took you battery connections off and your car died, you have a bad alternator, the vehicle does not require a battery while it is running.
But for the vehicle running after the key has been removed, probably your ignition, have it checked my a certified mechanic.
Please do not listen to my misguided frind below me, he obviously has no idea how a vehicle works, the alternator powers the vehicle while the engine is running, the battery is used by the starter to start the vehicle, after that it uses the alternator to power all accesories and the vehicle. An old test is to disconnect the battery cable to test your alternator. So, once again, please ignore him, have your ignition cylinder checked and if you car died when you unhooked the battery, have your alternator checked.

Grand Prix (1966 Film) / Ryan’s Daughter (1970 Film) $15.98 Thanks largely to his work with director David Lean, composer Maurice Jarre’s career was at a peak during the mid-1960s.

If John Frankenheimer’s Cinerama Formula One racing epic Grand Prix was a sometimes schizophrenic mix of romantic trysts and innovative cinematic racing excitement, Jarre managed… |
