I'm having some problems with the power to my car and I have no clue where the hell to even begin looking. Everything will be off, no problems. Turn the ignition on and everything comes on as it should; gauges, fuel pump, etc. When I turn the key off everything continues to run. Last time I did it my speedometer was bouncing around a little bit after turning it off, like 0-3mph or something. I'm guessing there's something electrical screwed up, but I have no idea.

The only things I've done since this problem has arisen was replace slave cylinder, replace starter, wire in new IAC sensor, and wire in new water temp sensor. I wouldn't think any of that would create the problem. I guess I'll go out and start ripping shit back off, UGH! Any ideas or suggestions? Anyone have a large sledge hammer that I could borrow?

check the ignition switch it might be the power problem.the other stuff may be something grounding out.check out the areas you worked on last

Correction on problems:

Turn to "accessory" -> Radio comes on, nothing else (appears to be working correctly)
Turn to "on" -> Fuel pump comes on, ECU is not on, gauges are not on
Try to crank -> Same as "on"
Turn back to "accessory" or turn ignition off -> everything remains on

Super.
