What changes have been made to the car? Is the Rad cooling fan still wired original or wired so comes on with ignition? Added a stereo or any equipment? If so disconnect one at a time and see if this fixes it.
Only if the engine is not cranking. Otherwise the problem is engine related.
the wires from the ignition switch need to be replaced.
The most likely cause would be the stator assembly. By disconnecting the cannon plug for the key switch harness, at the engine, you can isolate the problem to the engine, or the ignition switch / harness assemblies. With the harness disconnected, spin the engine over with a starter button, connected to the solenoid. If the engine now has fire, the problem is in the ignition kill circuit, (ignition switch, emergency kill switch, or harness assembly). If a no fire condition still exists, the problem is in the ignition system, on the engine itself. The stator, and related ignition components can be tested with a volt / ohm meter.
Yes, sometimes a faulty ignition switch can cause the engine to not fire. Also, a bad spark park can the engine to not fire.
Yes, it could.
Not a switch, but you could have a problem with the Sentry Key System. The key has a chip in it that communicates with a receiver near the ignition switch. You will have to go to a dealer for service.
You have a problem with the ignition in the steering columm, or there is a problem with the anti dieseler switch in the engine compartment. Depending the year of the automobile.
Once the problem has been resolved switch off the ignition, leave it a few seconds, then switch on again and the engine fault light should be off. If it remains on then there is a possibility you may have more than one fault.
several could bes. If there is no action, the engine does not turn, the rod running from the key switch to the ignition switch on the column could be broken, or the ignition switch itself could haved malfunctioned. If there has be work immediately privious to the problem, check for loose connection, expecially on the ignition switch.
It sounds like your dizzy cap isn't lined right which causes the engine to stay running after the ignition has been switched off. i had the same problem with my fiesta
What kind of auto is it. Sounds like you may have an ignition switch problem.
In most cases, the engine will not fire or start if the clutch switch is bad. The key will turn in the ignition but there will be no turn-over or sound from the engine. If the engine turns over but doesn't start, there might be a problem with the fuel supply.
