I am trying to figure out where I should start diagnosing...this issue I am having with the car. So I have a 94 ST with a 97 engine/ecu and some unknown harness. The fuel pump does not get power until the car is turned on so I have to jump for it to run when I crank the car. The car also doesnt start without the help of starter fluid and a lot of trial. Now when it does start I turn the ignition off and the car is still running, I take the key out of the ignition and the car is still running, I take the negative battery pole out and the car is still running, I take the positive battery pole off and the car still runs, I take off the EFI fuse and it still runs...Im about to remove the alternator wire, but then I think hey this may not be a good idea....so i start removing wires for the dizzy and it finally shuts off.... What a car, it starts when it wants and shuts off when it wants. I cant win here.

well how long does it stay running? because the car may be dieseling not sure if you know what it is but ease of conversation its when carbon builds on the top of your piston and creates an ember (small ball of fire like a cigarette or your choice of tobacco) and it may be acting as a glow plug.

Though that is a noble concept, I'm more prone to thinking he has some wiring issues =P
