when i try to start my car it will turn over and actually crank untill i let go of the ignition key, after that it dies!! i finally got it started and was going down the highway when the engine shut of and started right back up. a little smoke came from the instrument cluster and now it will not stay started. if anyone knows what is going on please reply. thanks

 

Same thing happened to me..... It's probably your ignition wiring harness.(I replaced mine and never had a problem since)(about $60 from the dealer)... I got stuck 3 time before it really wouldn't start again, the first couple of times I just waited 5min then it would start again, the stalling while driving on the hwy was pretty crazy though - felt like the car lost all it pwr....

The smoke you see is from the solder on the harness overheating and burning it off......

I almost had to get my car towed home, but I realized that it would run if the key was set between the start and released position.... I zip tied the key in a forward position to keep it running.... try it to see if it works...... just don't push the key to far foward or else you'll burn out your starter... HTH

 

hey thanks man. i will get that wiring harness and see what happens i appreciate it.
