I got one for you guys.
 
My 85 with 140K wouldn't start, as a matter of = fact it wouldn't even crank.  I got the traditional lights on but no cranking.  After consulting the Bible according to Bentley I traced = it back to the ignition switch.  I ordered a used one and just unplugged = the old one and plugged in the new one without pulling the steering wheel just = to see if it worked.  It cranked beautifully, but it wouldn't catch.  I = checked the ignition coil resistances, according to Bentley the coil is fine. 
 
I tested the Hall sensor before I got the new = ignition switch and it was fine. 
 
It could be;
    1). I got a bum ignition switch = from the junkyard.
    2). I fried the coil when I was troubleshooting the original problem.
    3). The ignition switch has to be = mounted on the steering column to be properly grounded???
 
Alternatively,  can someone tell me how to = hotwire it.  Maybe I can at least get it out of the Walmart parking lot.   :^ (
 
Any help would be lovely.
 
Thanks,
Matt
