What? Use commas, periods, clauses, and actual sentence structure. I cannot understand what you just said. But the reason I said install a kill switch was because I figured you came from a cold area. When the switch is in the on position it will keep cranking but you will never fire and start. The purpose of this is to stir up your motor's oil and cover you internals before it starts. Most ware of internals comes from starting the car after it has been sitting for awhile, especially in a cold environment. Sure your ignition components may be corroded. Replace them asap. But the idea of a kill switch will increase your motor life. And it had something to do with ignition, so I brought up the topic. Good luck with the situation.
