Okay... Im stumped on this one. For the car to start I have to poor a little gas in the intake manifold, but once it starts, I cant shut it off unless I disconnect the coils. So basically, the car has a starting problem, and a stopping problem... any input would be greatly appriciated

so you need to help it along ala some gas in the intake manifold to get it started, but can't shut it off unless you pull the coil packs. ok. When you turn the key all the way to off, it keeps on going? You may have a problem with your ignition switch.

yeah, the actual switch is probably worn down pretty bad. Check to see if the switch is closed or open when the key is out.
