Keep in mind the ignition switch controls other circuits in addition to
the start circuit, such as ignition, main relay and most accessories. A
defective switch could possibly have faulty (IG1) contacts feeding power
to the ignition coil, igniter and main relay while the (ST) contacts
feeding power to the start circuit are good, resulting with an engine that
cranks but won't catch. The give away of course would be not hearing the
main relay engage or no illumination of the CEL when turning the ignition
switch to the run position...
