Have a look for main relay Scott. Take it off, remove the cove and re-solder all welds. Your problem may be sorted by that switch what you just replaced, but for incase you will eliminate another possible rout cause

I have a spare main relay. You're welcome to borrow that if you find the ignition switch wasn't the culprit.

This car is suchapenis.

So it wont start again. Well it starts everytime instantly and then dies instantly unless you give it some revs and its sooooooooooo smokey from the exhaust.

Battery hasnt been charged and i can only assume it dies at idle because
a - the battery is low on voltage and
b - the alt isnt giving any power out until its revved a bit.
This i assume would make the engine run rough and more rich than it already is running.

So im charging the battery now so it will idle and i can check Usain Volt at the alternator.

My suggestion the other day was going to be possible over-fuelling. Have you whipped the plugs out immediately after it cuts out to check for saturation?

Have you tried screaming at it in frustration and beating it with your fists, or a stick?

Seriously, mate, sympathy. Keep your pecker up - you'll get her sorted

This sounds exactly like my problem it seems to do it more an more but have found out it was fuel pump as i ran a wire from fuel pump to a live an it starts straight away then i disconnect wire an its ok for a while but have just soldered main relay tonight an it started straight away so will let u know how it goes

Fuel pumps is fine. Its a HRC. I can see the dash electronics flash and a relay under the dash keep clicking like mad when the car dies.
No its not overfuelling. Its rich though and the plugs are wet but no saturated. But it drove fine before. It just wont start after a few days.
There must be something that has caused an epic fail in all of my ignition components.
