IDE=MPLAB X, emulator=ICD3, MCU=pic18f25k20.

As long as the debugger is running the MCU code runs ok. When I press "stop" from MPLAB, the code stops executing. I checked the reset pin and it is ok in '1' state. Also no breakpoints exist. And when I cut the power and then power on (with ICD3 disconnected), again no response.

So what is holding the code and it is not executing without the debugger running?

EDIT: I posted this in the rf section by accident, if a moderator had the kindness to move it to microcontrollers section...

If you manually take control of the power, what comes to mind is that you should't run the code in Debug mode, but as Release mode.

Anyway, the ICD3 debugger is likely configured to took total control of signals, as being unaware about external power reset. Just a guess, but you could check the "Maintain active connection to Hardware Tool" option to see if unchecking it changes something:
