have you bridged your fuel pump relay to get it working?
this is what can happen if you do that to it. - seen it before , you can removed the key too, and the car still runs!

how long does it run for? this happened when i did the volvo conversion, turns out i had the wrong wire connected to the alternator from the loom and it kept giving power. Cant see how you could have done this but worth a shot:D

im sure some sorta problem with a wire attatched to the alternator can do this, my dad told me it used to happen alot but ive never experienced it so never had to look in to it/fix it.
