Original problem: car would start, ignite, then die after key release.

Original solution: ran a wire from the unfused side of fuse #13 directly to the #15 terminal on the ignition coil. Problem solved.

Or so I thought. 2 wks later, without warning the car is doing the exact same thing, and yes I have checked, the new wire is still delivery about 12 v to # 15 term on coil.

Im stumped. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
