Jeep won't stay running (ignition maybe)

Thank you. I would really like to clean up the compartment.

The most confusing part of a Jeep ignition system is the solenoid connections. The blue wire is the "start" position +12vdc. It both actuates the starter solenoid and sends a signal to the Duraspark module. The red/white coming off the solenoid supplies a full +12vdc to the coil while cranking. It serves no other function. The purpose was to bypass the resistor wire while cranking for an easier start. All other ignition power is supplied through the ignition switch. (Kinda like burning your candle at both ends)

Here is a schematic for illustration:

Attachment 62

Masalaba: This should be made a "sticky." It should be under Ignition Wiring-- "Duraspark".

Jim, You should really make a copy of that diagram. I'm sure you will need it in the future. That is some great information. That was kind of Masalaba.

Thanks Larry, I printed it.

Yes Thank you. Sorry, I thought I thanked you as well.

Thanks again,
Jim
