I have an 86 Jaguar refit with a sbc 350 and edelbrock Q-jet clone. It occasionally sputters and continues running after turning off the ignition. This will stop if I hit the brake. What causes this?

Detonation of the fuel caused by timing to high and/or low octane fuel. Have someone check the timing and use a higher octane fuel maybe a booster.

When i turn the key the engine sputters but the car does start what is the problem?
there is actually no problem. it sputters because the engine has to start up and it may be the way you place the key inside the ignition. so don't worry because it isn't a big problem

If the shaking is specific to acceleration and the shaking is very rythmic (not random) it is most likely a fault in the ignition system. Usually a tune up or ignition coil replacement will solve this problem.
