The battery is a part of the circuit, so it should stop if it's disconnected, unless these cars have a bypass to keep you going, which they might well do.

My thought. If it was it wouldn't cut the engine.

Then it's dieseling (self fuelling)

Check all your oil levels, seals on turbos and compression on cylinders. Try not to drive it anywhere as it runs a chance of running off and the only way to stop it will be to dump the clutch in 5th when the car is standing still and hope the gearbox can take it. Needless to say doing all of this whilst it's ragging it's head off is quite stressful.

sounds like to me that the alternator is providing power to the engine when the battery is disconnected. So alternator is fine then aint it? if the alternator was farked then the engine would have cut out as soon as i disconnected the battery
