It doesn't matter if the key is on the "on" position or if the key is out of the ignition. its on when the battery is connected.
The bad part about this is that we just got the car as is. We didn't take apart the motor to replace the head gasket. We do not know what the people did to the car before it came to us.
We switched out the ignitior and it made no difference. We are thinking its the distributor pick up but we have no idea how to test the distributor.
We are completely stumped on this.
Thanks
