If you study the original method that I made the graphic for and published on the web, you will see that the security system has nothing to do with it.
It would be hard to imagine the points arching together and sending continual voltage to the low amperage starter circuit, causing the starter motor to continually run after the car starts.

I wired it correctly. It ran for nearly two days without issue, aside from the racket the drive shaft was causing.
The car only sat for half an hour between running fantastic and making this horrible sound that resulted in a disabled car.

Hmm... this had not crossed my mind. I start the SVX on average 30 times a day, I could see this happening, though I find it unlikely that I wouldn't have noticed the key not returning.
I did turn the key again after it became disabled, it turned normally...
