My car wouldnt start one day. Well it would, but only for a second. It would fire up, but as soon as I let the key out of the ignition position, it would die.

Then i got it running. So i let it warm up. Then i drove it around the corner, and it just died on me. Then it was doing the same thing, only starting for a second. Then I finally got it to run again and drove it back.

Now it wont start at all. I thought it might be a fuel pump because i cant hear the fuel pump when i turn my car on. But i still have fuel pressure when im trying to start it.

Any ideas?

 

first thought would be ignition switch! try wiggle the key a bit and see what happens

 

But it would die while i was driving

 

still could be ign switch. specially after reading your symptoms. test it and find out

So it could die while im driving if it was the ignition switch?

 

clean out the fuel rail and whatever the little thing on the left side of the fuel rail. almost the same thing was happening to me. just mine as well clean the whole thing.

 

I think it is the ignition switch now. After doing some youtube research.

But can My car just shut off if that is the problem?

 

well its probably not good. XD

 

Haha, i didnt mean to say "is that bad"

i have been thinking with my hands not my brain tonight.

IM PISSEd

 

YES. I went to the junkyard and picked up an ignition switch from a hatch. And it Starts and i drove it around.

BUT. the heater doesnt work. it wont blow air at all. This only happens when the car is started.

I had the battery disconnected while i was working. any ideas?
