Right mate this is what happens.. 

I put key in ignition and turn ignition on. All lights on dash come on as they should. I turn the key to start the car and starter motor does as it should (engine does not start) I realise the key but the starter motor is still turning the engine over and won't stop turning it over until I turn the ignition off.

Hope this is more understanding for you buddy

Just re-read this old thread... It might be relay wiring.

A relay engages then stays engaged. Power to one of the relay terminals (coil) is receiving power through its own switched contacts. So if you supply power to the relay, it will engage, but then when you release it, power is now being supplied from an alternative source- probably from one of the switch terminals. So it can never disengage until all the power feed has been cut. Try swapping the switch contact spade terminals over. Leave the coil terminals alone though.

classic memory circuit, that what we used to call them when a output from a relay was wired back to its own energising coil, normally by mistake

the starter isn't linked to relay 22.

It's the crank shaft sensor that's why it's not working and must be a faulty ignition switch.. when I wiggle the key the starter motor stops when ignition is on and works as it should :)

But that's for all your guys help 

 

deleted comment as was thinking about a cam sensor
