If it only runs for .02 seconds you may also have a bad external resister
in the ignition system.  When you crank on the engine the resister is
bypassed so it starts, but a soon as you put the key on runs the circuit
runs through the resister and if it is bad (ie: no current flows through
it) the car dies.

Hey Guys/Gals,

I know it's off topic, being a dodge, but...

We are trying to move my mom's 1967 dodge polara convertible. The engine
starts, runs for .02 seconds, then dies. Also, the car won't budge in
neutral. The car will not move with the transmission in neutral. The tranny
does work, because the neutral safety switch kicks in. It also won't start
in reverse. Does anyone know what causes this? Why does the engine start,
run for .02 seconds, then die? Your help is much sought after!!!!

Thanks,

Dane (Why I own fords! :) )
