Have to turn key twice to start

One of my favorite things to do for something like this is to wire up little light bulbs to places along the circuit. I have a little box with 3 or 4 LEDs in it. It is an old hidden spare key box with a magnet on it. I stick it to the bottom of the dash. When I was having ignition trouble, I hooked one to the coil, one to each side of the ballast using some speaker wire. Then I could watch the bulbs and see where the fault was.
