    Thanks. I'm done. Done wasting time, money and throwing parts at this thing. I'll be contacting the experts. If they want to throw parts and money at it too, it'll be for sale that day. 3 years cant get this thing going. Im done. With two kids under 2, its impossible to have a minute to do anything. Let alone just keep wasting time (Years) on things that do not improve the condition. Again, it does run above 3,000 RPM's. Which makes 0 sense.

    Do you happen to have a part number or link? All the threads I found in here won’t pull up. There has to be one for a reasonable price other than the one for $1800 on eBay. Thinking about changing the switch.

    now, the fuel pump won’t come on even with the blue plug disconnected. Pump was tested direct and still good. Relay and fuse is good. Not sure if the circuit goes through the ignition switch? Worth a try. Not for $1800 though. Or even $500

    Hi there, I noticed my engine was running strong at start and dying immediately after - seemed to happen to suddenly to be fuel related IMO (i.e. I assumed was an electrical issue). I noticed it died when I released the key from 'start' to 'run' position. It was on my list to troubleshoot further but then I also noticed my ignition was 'notchy' and the key would jam trying to turn to 'start' position - on a desperate whim I decided to replace the electrical portion of the ignition switch with the goal of addressing the notchy action of my key.

    I crawled under the dash and swapped out the electrical portion of the switch in-situ and was delighted that the car fired right up and continued to run. Unfortunately it did not fix the notchy feel of the key, but I'll deal with that later.

    Now I of course can't promise this will fix your run issue, nor if the 328 uses the same ignition switch electrical parts ( I think it does - maybe search this forum for the part number below), but I found a thread somewhere on here indicating that Ferrari and BMW (2002 maybe?) use the same ignition electrical switch. FCP Euro had one and the price was competitive.

    Apparently there are inexpensive generic versions, and better OEM versions available for BMW, I went with genuine.

    BMW Switch - Genuine BMW 61312682120
    Apparently this is Ferrari part number 70000707 and a quick search indicates AW Italian might be able to rebuild these? Nevertheless I would not throw out the old one.

    Hope this helps.
    -Mike

    you’re the man. Thank you. This is the next step.

    both relays and the connection at the passenger foot well are good.
