Everytime I turn the car off, my keys are out, but the engine keeps running. The only way to turn it off is to press the stop lever on the engine. What could be causing this?

For starters, check vac hoses from shut-off to key ignition.

Please use the search, this question has been asked and answered many times before.

Thanks

I tried, and I got a lot of posts found, but nothing of use, because "engine" and "stop" are in a lot of posts that haven't nothing to do with my problem.

Try "engine shutoff valve" + "IP shutoff valve"
