[jstout1976]

OKAY 85 BRONCO 351 W 5.8L WONT START WITH KEY IF U TURN IT ALL THE WAY TO RUN IT DOES NOTHING BUT IF U JUMP THE SOLENOID IT RUNS FINE WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM ALSO JUST PUT IN NEW IGNITION SWITCH AND NUETRAL SAFTEY SWITCH

if you jump across and it starts,that sounds like a solenoid is bad

I had the same problem on my 75 Bronco where it was dead when I tried to turn it over with the key, the fix, a wire was loose that hooks on the positive side of the solenoid.....

most likely the solenoid is bad

i just finished a motor swap and now there is a starting issue i replaced the solenoid checked
the fuel rail (getting fuel) the motor will spin but wont turn over when i jump the solenoid

checked all the grounds and conectors tightened and retightened every wire and it still doent

want to start also checked the switch under the dash to see if the button was up(it wasnt) the

only thing left is the distrubitor. could that go bad if it was just removed and reinstalled i am at

my wits end with this dam thing if any one has any ideas i would be very greatful @-)

update got the key to turn the motor over but it still wont start and quick ways to check if the plugs are getting a spark?

You shouldn't be hijacking someone else's thread. Post your own topic, that makes it easier for future searches.

Good luck,
