You are on the right track. When you spayed the ether did you open the butterfly on the throttle body and get it inside the intake?

No but I will today. I am concerned that with my old ignition it would turn over and start but only 1 out of 10 times but with the new ignition it just turns over every time I turn the key but wont start at all. Its like I switched problems when I changed the ignition switch cylinder,

Your original post was from august 2015. Sounds like the electrical portion of the ignition switch solved your original problem with the starter.

How long was the starter working properly before the new issue where the engine won't run on its own occurred?

How long was the starter working properly and the engine running properly before the new issue where the engine won't run on its own occurred?

IT wouldn't start for about a month with the old issue i replaced the switch and the new issue started im wondering if theirs something with the new switch or a new problem problem accrued. The new switch was used from the junk yard.

Now that the starter is working properly, you need to figure out if the engine is not starting due to lack of spark or lack of fuel.

The first thing I would do is check for engine codes, if you have a scanner.

If not, then you will need an old spark plug to test for spark.

Does this vehicle have an aftermarket alarm system installed?
