Hi all.

Just took my VanaJetta for a real test run. Runs much better now!

Ignition switch is fairly new, worked fine before conversion, and if
"new" engine cold-warmish, works fine.

When engine hotter after short hwy. run, it won't shut off.

I put in a separate relay to supply power to Jetta ignition coil.

I suspect heat as the culprit.

If a relay gets too warm-hot, would this cause it to stay "on"?

Here's a pic of relay box/exhaust:

Maybe relay box is too close to exhaust or exhaust too exposed.

Would a heat shield on exhaust or relay box help that much?

Thanks,

Neil.
