When I move the key into the "off" position, and take it out, the car stays on for at least five seconds. During those five seconds, I can still give it gas as if it were running normally. Help? Is this a bad problem, or is it just a minor inconvenience?

A factory turbo timer good.
Really a nuisance, can damage pistons from running dry.
How is the radiator fan? Is it rewired or is it in its factory circuit.

sounds like a bad ignition switch, the contacts are arcing holding it shut for a couple seconds.
