Best Answer

Run on, a continuation of running after the switch is turned off, can be caused by hot carbon deposits in the engine continuing to ignite the fuel that flows into the running engine. You can buy products to clean out engine carbon. Sometimes just a good run at highway speeds can cure it. Another possibility is engine timing is set incorrectly.

If the ignition switch is faulty it could leave an electrical component turned on and that could potentially cause a dead battery. That would not necessarily be the case and you might notice if the switch is supposed to be off but something still runs.

No start problems runs fine for days then just won't start It cranks it's gettin spark If you let it sit overnight it will start I think the fuel pump is bad not sure if relay problem?

from those symptoms it could be the fuel pump/fuel filter. might be fuel pressure regulator too. Try 2 things: (1) turn interior lights on and try to start. If lights go out when engine starts and dies it is ignition switch or (2) as engine starts, gently apply forward pressure to ignition switch when you release (do not allow ignition to go all the way back). If engine keeps running, it is ignition switch.

Check that your fuel cap is still venting. Leave it off and see if the engine runs for more than five minutes. If it does, then you have a blocked vent.

What is wrong when car runs and then will not crank?

Battery cables could be loose, battery could be bad, starter could be bad, starter solenoid could be bad, ignition switch could be bad. Turn on the headlights and try to crank the engine. If the headlights dim or go out look at the cables or battery. If they stay bright look at starter, solenoid or ignition switch. The neutral safety switch or clutch petal switch could do it too.
