    Cherokee won't stay running.

    OK, sorry if my post was a little confusing yesterday all I had was a test light. Got my digital VOM back and checked for continuity across the resistor and it is good. Released the prime on the fuel rail and turned the key on while the resistor was jumed and volt meter hooked to the jumpers, no...

    Eagle, first thing I did after your post was jump the wires on the resister, then I checked for power on either side of the spades with the wires connected and the key on run, then probed them each disconnected with the key on run, then each while cranking. The only power shown was while...

If I hold the switch on the start postion the engine will run,albeit with the starter engaged and running, as soon as I release the...
