Hey Guys this is on my old '79 Dodge Van. It cranks and cranks and cranks and will usually start eventually (after a battery charge or 2) but here's what I think is happening. It seems like maybe the ignition is not getting power when the key is in the start position (while cranking). Seems like when I release the key to the run position it wants to try to start.
As I remember, a typical ballast problem is that the car will start fine, but stall when you release the key to the run position. My problem seems to be just the opposite. Any ideas ?? Thx
