Help!!! I was trying to wire in a tach to my '93 sentra b13 1.6L and I accidently touched 2 of the 4 wires going into the stator. (just to the left of the distributor cap.) It was the orange and black wires if that helps. The only contacted for a second, but now my engine doesn't shut off with the key. I can only shut it off by pulling that plug. Obviously I welded a switch shut somewhere that's supposed to open when I turn the key off, but where??? I tried cutting the ignition wire going into my ignition switch while the engine was running, but it just continued to run. I'm not opposed to rigging a switch to the green wire coming off the coil if it comes to that to shut the engine off, but then the idiot lights in the dash go off so I have to pull the ground lead on the battery to turn them off. Help! What did I do and how do I fix it?
