84 camaro keep cranking
So I just joined here. I recently got a 84 z28 5.0. Im currently replacing the brake lines. But It starts up fine but say you turn it to start it then leave it in the on position. You can take the key out and have it in your hand and it will still be cranking. Im thinking starter relay? where is it? Also the previous owner started to remove ac so there are wires cut. Please help. Im not much of a electrical person.

Re: 84 camaro keep cranking
Sounds like it does the same thing my 86 does.
When you crank it you have to keep your hand on there to make sure it goes back to the run position.... my starter is new and still does it, i think it has to do with the ignition switch itself. This is just an opinion, seeing as mine doesnt do it everytime.

Re: 84 camaro keep cranking
My 91 had a similar issue. It ended up being the ignition control module. I'm not sure how different an 84 set up is, but it's an idea.
