I'm new here and probabaly can't offer much help but I had an intermitent problem with my car. It wouldn't stop cranking unless it started or the battery was unhooked and I was told that it was the ignition switch shorting out. It sounds like you might have other problems though.</p>

Just a thougt as to what one of the problems might be though.</p>

check the egnition block on the stering collum to see if it melted and your wires are touching. it's about half way down the colum and on top.
