Had the car at work today and started it and moved it a couple times during the day. Later in the day I went to move the car and it would not start and stay running. If I keep cranking the engine over and give it throttle, it runs but as soon as I stop cranking it over it then runs for a second and dies.
Checked the mechanical fuel pump(no electric one installed) and it was good. There is fuel going right to the carb so it led me to believe that I may have a carb issue. The carb is a Edelbrock 1411.
Upon thinking about this after having the car towed from work and forking out $107 for the tow bill, I got thinking that it sounds more like an ignition issue since it will run while it is cranking and not stay running when in the "run" position. I will be checking the ignition switch this weekend and see if that is the issue but I just wanted to see if anyone else has any input of what else to check.
Thanks ahead of time everyone.
