Hey,
I have a 1969 volkswagon "bug" with 18,000 miles, I've had it since March. I believe they had replaced the engine in the past. It runs great (usually)The problem, I went to leave from work and its starts fine when I have the key it the start position but as soon as I release the key and it goes to the "run" or "on" position the engine turns off immediately. It ran fine when I left for work in the morning. Tried jump starting, not the problem. It has 1/4 tank of gas, it doesn't make any unusual noises any ideas?

One thing you can check is the ignition switch. After you start it keep the key from returning all the way from the start position by holding it, but make sure the starter doesn't stay engaged. If you can keep it running this way, more than likely you have a bad ign sw.
