The motor cranks over and it'll start for a second then die.

When i put the key to the on position, none of the dash lights come on and the fuel pump doesn't primer. if i hold the key to the start position the car will stay running but then it'll die a second later.

Let me know what you think it is.

 

does your main relay click???

 

so you have to hold the key to try and keep running? or am I just mis-reading

 

Sounds like the infamous main relay gremlin has struck again.

 

nah ivan it was but now it isn't so i think everything is grounded...

i bought a new mainrelay to try out though....

hold the key to the cranking position....

Well hopefully the main relay will cure this problem...

Thanks

Any other ideas?

 

have you dont any work to the car to cause this? like did it just start happening out of the blue or after you installed something?

 

it was a full build up.

it wasn't the main relay...

 

sounds like bad ignition wiring or switch if you are getting the car to RUN (not just crank) with the key in "start", but not in "on".
