Afternoon guys!

Thanks for all the responses! Toolman, I went ahead and read that thread you linked.

I did go ahead and went to the vehicle to take a look to see if I could find anything related to aftermarket remote starters- no dice. It appears the ignition and key fob are OEM.

Some further testing revealed to me that the vehicle is able to turn off normally if you take your foot of the brake and put the shifter into neutral (this is a 6 speed).

Unfortunately, my dad was the most mechanically inclined in the family and he’s unable to answer the questions I have in the state he is in. My mechanical aptitude generally starts and ends at making sure fluid levels are OK and replacing burnt out lights etc.

I just want to thank all of you guys again for answering my post! Tomorrow I will be taking it into the family mechanic to make sure everything else is mechanically sound- the car did sit for almost 2 years! If they are able to shed any light onto the issue I will make sure I report back here and post about it.

Thanks again.
