I read about this before but can't find it. It seeems like ignition is turning off when key is released. Is there anyway to verify this as a bad ignition switch? Of course this is upon initial fireup. Help!
With the key in the run position check for voltage at the positive connection of the coil. If you don't have voltage there it's typically the ballast resistor. You can as a test unplug the wires to the ballast resistor and jump across them with a wire. Try to start the car and if it starts your resistor is bad. DO NOT LEAVE IT LIKE THAT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AS YOU COULD BURN OPEN YOUR COIL. The ignition switch could be bad or the bulkhead connector could have a pin that has pushed out or is corroded. Good Luck! I hope that this helps.
