liam96 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 any one had this before or any ideas ?? so the battery is fully charged and all fuses are completely fine. i put the key in the barrel on position 0 ( off ) then turn to position 1 ( ACC ) and you can hear the fuel pump kick in and lights come on, turn the key to position 2 ( run ) and more lights come on, then turn the key to position 3 ( start ) and the car turns over and starts up normally but once i let go of the key and it automatically turns back to position 2 ( run ) the car dies and cuts out. but if i hold the key over at position 3 ( start ) then the car idles fine and rev's fine. any ideas what could cause the car to cut out once the key reverts back to position 2 after starting it up ??

sierra3dr Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 How long have you had the fault? It could be a fault with the ignition barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam96 Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 i hadn't run it for about a month. but the car ran perfect before hand. i tried to test continuity on the ignition switch it self and had some continuity on position 2 but i can't find many wiring diagrams online to see where and what i need to test.

sierra3dr Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I have Haynes manual for a MK1. How much they changed,I'm none the wiser. The wiring diagram does show a relay,between the ignition barrel and starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
