Car cranks but wants to start when i release the key but wont run

Check for voltage at the ballast resistor. Key on and then Key in start position.

sounds like it drops when you let go of the key?

Could also be ignition if you are not start/running , Have you checked for spark at the plugs as well?

I I’ll check for voltage at the ballast do you guys know what it should be reading and the motor has spark because sometimes i can get it to run when I release the key
