Starting problem

Jul 07, 2003 1 Replies

All, When I turn the key to start my 1984 Jetta GLI, it starts and runs fine. But as soon as I let the key go, it cuts off. I checked the black wire that goes to the number 15 terminal on my coil, and it has no voltage when the key is in the On position.



Basically, I have to leave the ignition switch in the 'Start' position for my car to run, which I havent been doing of course (lol). ANyone have any hints as to what may be wrong here???

Ignition switch dead... cheap part, a PITA to change :)
