·This jeep is a 1986 CJ7 with an 86 Painless Wiring kit installed and no ECU. The Computer has been bypassed as described in the article, Nutter Bypass.
The wiring kit and bypass were done 2 years ago. During that time everything has worked without any problems. A few months ago I pulled the 258 rebuilt it, put the engine back in rewired it and started it up. The engine started fine and ran but the problem I had was that I could no longer stop the engine with the ignition switch. I pondered this for quite some time and tried unplugging the 2 wires from the alternator terminal so that the alternator was no longer recharging the battery. This time the engine shut off when I turned off the ignition. I followed the wiring diagrams closely and paid special attention to the bypass but I must have something looped some where. and I'm feeding power straight back to the coil.
Anyone have any suggestions or a similar rewire problem?
Thanks,
Mark
