James,

Sounds like you have a loose ground wire or bad mag switch. Does the engine lose some RPMs when you turn the switch fully off? About the same as a mag check drop? If so, it is probably one module that is not being grounded when switched off. You might also try unplugging and replugging the module plugs. A bad connection there can cause a loss of grounding.

Bill.

Im with Biil,
Check the two ground wires that go into your ignition switch. They may be loose or come off. It may be where the ground wire(s) are attached up at the module plugs too.

I will bet what ever you like that it is the grounding wire on the modules.

The outer sheath will look ok, but the inner wire will be broken.

Pull the wires gently and they will stretch.

Haven't found it yet. Wires look to be intact. What to check with a multimeter?
