ignition

so i fixed it, i ran a new wire from the ignition switch to the solenoid and it worked fine so that wire shorted out somewhere, but just today i took awhile to start and when it was about to and i let back on the ignition it would die, so i thaught the switch was off alighnment, it almost like the circuit is getting cut off before it can complete, do you think the switch is bad, i tried adjusting it every way,

ignition

that sounds like and ignition modual problem, you Ignition modual has two circuts. One fires the coil only while your actually cranking the motor, soon as the engine fire the secondary circut takes over and it continus to run when you release the key, so if your cranking the motor and its trying to start and run but dies when you release the key then there is a problem in the electrical circut or with the ignition modual itself.
