    do you have an aftermarket alarm? engine timer?
    You're probably wondering where you are. I'll tell you where you might be. You might be in the room that you die in. This is your wake up call.

    The start relay might be stuck closed? But there should still be no power to the ecu, ignition or fuel pump...weirdness. Has this ever happened before?

    Now that I think about it, how the hell did you get it to stop?
    The key position would already be at "off" right?

    I was thinkin of that to.. I'd d/c the battery .

    I have heard of cars starting up by em selves.. but mainly caused by the Alarm System wired wrong
