Hello all.
My 89 Cougar Xr7 will turn over and fire for a sec. then die, no sputter, like the ignition circuit is cut off, I tried a new ignition module, but no luck, My passenger side headlights also keep blowing, which indicates a short? can the two be connected, look over my ignorance, to much stuff under this hood for me! Thanks.

Guess what? It was the ignition switch! (the electrical part) had to hold it forward to keep it running.
