I have visited these forums in the past few weeks trying to diagnosis the reason why my Legend was having trouble starting up. The first symptoms were that whenever I would go to start the vehicle the engine would fire up, but as soon as I let go of the key from the ignition position the engine would automatically die out. Secondly, I realized that when I went to start the car the first time it would fire up then die, and the following attempts the vehicle would not even fire, but rather just continually crank. Upon visiting these forums I found out that it more than likely the PGM -FI Main Relay. So I purchased a replacement and swapped it out. My vehicle ran fine for about a week with no real issues, except one or two times where I had to try to start the vehicle more than once.

But now the vehicle is having similar as before. The engine will fire, but once I let go of the key the engine automatically dies. In order for my car to keep on running I have to hold the key at the ignition position. However it isn't having the issue of not cranking over and not firing at all anymore, after the first attempt.

So I was wondering if you fine ladies and gents might have any idea as to what might be causing this dilemma? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance for any advice given.

Cheers!
