Thank you one and all. After the ignition switch was eliminated as the
problem, & after an 8 hour battery charge, I cleaned the posts & cables.
Only then it finally started.
Perhaps the batteries are getting tired, and couldn't keep it running for
the few critical seconds after the "pop"...
Is there any way, that you know of to 'hot wire' or other method to ascertain that
it is a faulty ignition switch or not? I'm reluctant to order a new ignition switch
not knowing if this is the cause or not.
Starting with a key which has worked very well for 2 years.
The battery was weak to begin with, and I thought I may have flooded it.
Maybe about 5-6 tries, the last 2-3 tries engine started, but only while
the starter was engaged, for a second or two each time.
There is a starting problem with my m998 6.2 engine.
The starter starts the engine, but as soon as I let
off the key's start position, the engine dies.
This cycle repeats until the batteries get weak,
and the starter slows down.
Anyone here know what could cause this?
Thanks.
