Engine will start and runs fine. When I turn off the key the engine will not stop. Have to pull the coil wire to shut it down. Replaced the ignition switch, and same thing. Is there something back on the motor that has gone bad?
 
this just started happening one day? or is an issue after the starter was changed?

I'd be looking at the terminal ends on the starter and make sure terminals on one lug aren't touching terminals on another lug.
 
Thanks hystat. Read on here that the alternator was the problem. Ordered a new one, put it on last night, and eveything is back to normal. Never thought the alternator would do this ?? Thanks,, Gary
