Hi Guys!

I', 100% sure this is an electrical fault, or mis-connected wire as I just re-wired the car, using a painless kit.

When you turn the key to the start position the engine will crank and catch, but as soon as you let the key spring back to the run position the engine dies! Like there is a spark in the start position, but non in the run position!

Any ideas? I've gone over the wiring diagrams and everything is hooked up correct!

 

Thanks Doc, I'll check asap!

 

I got hold of a Painless tech on the phone, I needed to put a 8amp 100PIV diode on the wire from the ballast resistor to the starter relay and jump the ING1 and ING2 terminals at the ignition switch, the diode prevents a current going from the coil to the stater motor, engaging it.

I didn't have a 8amp 100PIV diode the biggest I had was a 6amp 50PIV so I tried it with that and it works! The beast is alive again. I will replace the 6am diode with the correct 8amp one before I drive her anyware!

Now with that issue out of the way, time to move on the the next one!

Thanks for the help guys!

Mike
