My van would not start one day, after waiting a few moments I started it up as the engine idle fast and loud. I turned off the van to prevent damage, only to find it would not turn completely off. It continued cranking and trying to turn over even after I removed the key from the ignition. The only way to end the involuntary turn over was to disconnect the battery.

The fuses and relay have been checked, the battery is fine, the solenoid is fine too. Is it the ignition switch, or something as simple as the spark plugs?

If have remote starter system I would suspect module and check and disconnect the system
if not equipped with a remote starter suspect ignition switch and should check it since all relay was checked
