Start but no run problem.
Maybe this will help someone with start/no run problem.
My truck would start great, but as soon as I let off the start mode on the key switch it would die. I checked to see if the resistor wire to the distributor was still in place. It had been replaced with a 12 GA wire from the bulkhead in the firewall. I turned on the ignition and had no power to the 12V distributor wire. With the switch on, I had power going into the switch but none to the red distributor wire. I installed a new switch and solved the problem.

Re: Start but no run problem.
Had the same problem about 6 months or so ago, I nailed mine down to the switch as the culprit. By jiggling the key after initial start it would run with no issue until the next startup.
But that told me I had a less than stellar connection which also creates heat. I replaced both the original switch and pigtail connector. |

Re: Start but no run problem.
I forgot to mention, I am running an HEI distributor.
