car wont start

[JohnL]

I had to do my switch as this happened.
Car stalled, it would crank if i held the ingnition to "start" though

If the car isnt cranking, then id say its something else. Or something else along with the IGN switch possibly.. When you switch the ignition to "ON" do you have any dash lights? Thats a quick giveaway.

When my ignition switch failed the car would crank fine, it would even start and the engine run while cranking (i.e. with the key held on 'start'), but as soon as I let go of the key (i.e. to 'ignition') it would die.
