Just got done installing my new EZ wiring harness on my 71 CJ5 w/ 225 V6. What a great product and only took me two days..... I am proud of it it is the first major electrical thing i have done.....

Now for the first main problem.... all others can wait to troubleshoot....

The jeep will turn over and stay running if and only if i continue to hold the switch to start. As soon as i let the switch go back to run it dies. There is fuel going to it. I checked all my connections and they seem to be good and tight.

 

first thing to check would be with the key in the on position, is power getting to the coil. If not, then the power wire to the coil is not connected properly at the switch.
that would be my guess.

 

oh please change your ignition switch

 

yes it may be ignition switch problem

 

If all of your connections is right check your ignition switch and check power getting to the coil or not.

 

check out for the the ignition switch and all the wiring's which comprises the ignition circuit and at last but not least check out the battery through which the power is coming..................
