Ive had my car start right back up after I shut it off and was in the process of taking out the key. Never found out why it did it though.

One theory is that your car is really an autonomous robotic life form from the planet Cybertron.

I would concentrate on the ignition switch.

you dont want your ignition switch getting stuck. happened on my 68 GTO and it got stuck open, like it kept trying to start after the engine was running, eventually started heating up and smoking. if i didnt kill the engine, it probably wouldve caught fire...again
