i have a 1988 eagle wagon with 81k miles , dont have any history with it bought it that way, the ptroblem im having is it only starts in the start posistion, new cap, wires plugs,and ignition switch, new wires, new carb, starter solenoid, o2 sencor and ignition module all new. also pick up inside of disbutor. And it will only TRY to start in the start posistion that is if i hold the key in start. ciol is new also.

I am confused, what your saying is normal.

maddog:
Yeah I'm confused as well because that's how all of my Eagles have started and for that matter every other vehicle I have owned. So my question is what are you expecting it to do.

MIPS:
I *think* he means that if he turns the key to START it will crank, fire and run but as soon as he releases the key and it goes back to RUN it dies again?

AMC of Houston:
He mentioned it'll "try to run" in the start position.    So could be lack of fuel?   Or maybe a timing chain that has skipped a couple of teeth?   That's a common symptom of a timing chain not quite in the right place.
