Thread: car will crank but wont start

yes a jump start button. ran a fused wire from + battery to a momentary switch in the cab then to the starter. I use it along with the key. it worked/started a few times then quit.

ill check spark tonight. got too dark last night to try that.

I have a friend bringing a code reader tonight.

whats odd is that after the switch was put in, it started with just the key on the first try.
yes, power at the wire when cranked.
