Having trouble keeping the car running. When i start the car and let go of the key the engine shuts off, but if I start it and hold the key on it stays running. Could it be than my starter is staying engaged? Or could it be my ignition switch. Also the car would have to be jump start now. If anyone has encounter this problem before and have fixed it. It would be gladly (sp) appreciated. Thanks in advance

hmm......i would say ignition switch.

If its part of the starter circuit.....which i'm sure it is.

Check the starter draw(ampere), and the voltage drop.

Could be a bad solenoid. Your hold-in could be screwed.

 

i'm gonna try to text out a new ignition switch. thanks for the reply.
