dodgeit- Thank you for your comprehensive reponse. I messed around a bit before I saw your message, so I'm going to post my findings of what I did and then take it from there
-------
Disconnected vac at the injection pump, starts no problem, plug it back in, car shuts off.
Disconnected brown ignition line that goes through the firewall at the Y connector, plugged off the y, starts right up, plug line BACK in, continues running but key will not shut it off.
disconnect both vacuum lines at the ignition, starts up, runs, drives, if i press them together to close the vacuum (please see lovely illustration), car shuts off. (well, it was, but after driving for an hour and a half and car got hot it didnt shut it off, but engine slowed, had to use cut off switch under hood)
so, the starter switch was replaced, not the whole assembly. I'm thinking that whatever part is in there that separates the vacuum in and vacuum out got blown up with the original incident happened ( smoke coming out of the ignition)
This seems reasonable yes? but why wouldn't the two vacuum lines pressed together fail to shut the car off when hot?
