There's only a few things it could be. One, the ignition switch may not be shutting off power to the coil. Two, the solenoid may be feeding 12V to the coil continuously and the other is a condition called dieseling where the car continues to run after being shut off. I've only seen that happen when cars are driven for awhile and get really hot. if that wasn't the case I would suspect the ignition switch or the solenoid. I would check to see if you have voltage to the coil with the key off. If you do remove the brown wire on the solenoid. If the voltage goes away your solenoid is most likely defective. If not it's probably the ignition switch.

John give excellent advice. Let me add that it is very unusual for this type of failure.
Was any of the wiring changed in your car or under the hood?
If so, that might explain why this is happening.Member, Sons of the American Revolution
