1982 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My car will start when you turn the key but as soon as you let the key go it stops, I have replaced the key barrel and electrics connnected to the barrel, but the problem continues.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

Start with checking the ballast resistor at the coil, you can test this by jumping a wire from battery Pos to the Pos side of the coil, this is by passing parts of the ignition, this will turn on the ignition with out the key, ( you will still need to crank with the key) and try starting, if it runs the ballast is probably faulty, that the white rectangle item near the coil, with a wire in one side and out the other, you can try jumping that as well it will do the same as wiring to the coil, see how you go.
