or Timing is off. This is known as dieseling. The car runs off combustion and burned gases still in the cylinder even if the ignition is off. Make sure marks are lined up on the camshafts and crankshaft. mostly likely have to remove the valve cover to check timing. Even though its a chain timing can still skip a mark. Another thing to do is make sure the piston is on top dead center and the dist. is firing on the number 1 cylinder.also try Removing the spark plug on number 1 and have someone turn it over as you watch for a spark.

Why wont my car cut off and the dashboard lights wont go off and its not the ignition switch?
Had that same problem on a 96 Mazda Millenia, after checking alot of wiring for shorts, I went to the fuse box under the hood and pulled it apart checking the wiring underneath. Found problem with the BTN fuse wiring. So I pulled the BTN fuse and problem solved. Been trying to find out what exactly the BTN fuse is for but haven't had any luck. Hope this will help--Good Luck!
Why is the carburetor flooding when turning the ignition switch on a 1983 Mazda RX-7?
Carburators will flood only when the needle/seat is faulty. When the bowl is full, the float is supposed to rise and shut off the fuel. If that's not happening fix the carburator.
Where is the ignition switch located on a 1991 Mazda B2200 truck?
Not to be smart but it is where you insert the key to start the vehicle!!!!!.If you have issues with the key cylinder not working properly like dome light,door buzzer or radio not coming on or staying on with the truck running you need to replace the ignition.It will cost on average 130.00 from auto zone or advance auto parts and not hard to replace.Not really sure what you want to know exactly but,figure the issue is one the items listed staying on or not coming on with the vehicle running like the door buzzer, no radio ,or even the fan switch for the heat or air condition.

Why do '90 Mazda Miata wiper motor and heater fan not work on occasion?
The ignition switch could be the problem. Jiggle the keys a bit. As the switch ages it doesn't "sit" quite right. I know this was the problem when some of my stuff wouldn't work, like wipers, heater fan or power windows. Switch might have to be replaced at some point.
