88 Jeep Wrangler

My Buddy is working on an 88 Jeep Wrangler, It has the straight 6 Carbureted engine in it with Manual Transmission. The issue he is having is the engine will stay running when you turn the ignition switch all the way over but the second you release the pressure off the key the engine will die. He has replaced the ignition switch with no results. He has also replaced the computer and still nothing. He jumped over the key switch and still has not solved the problem... Does anyone have any other thoughts on this problem so he can get this resolved?
Thanks in advance for any Help..

With the ignition on, do you have battery voltage at the ignition coil?

This doesn't make an sense. Has your friend removed the ignition switch from the column with the wiring still attached and manually used a pocket screwdriver or equivalent to slide the contact bar in the switch to start the engine? Maybe there is a problem with the linkage in the steering column?

The positive side of the coil had no power. I Think I have found the problem. The ignition control module. Found in the bottom of left fender under washer bottle. It looks like old ford brain box.I am installing a new one today. Cost about $120.00. I will let you know if this does fix the problem.thanks for the help.

That's a good way to throw away $120

Sounds like your testing was faulty because you said you had no power at the coil and that doesn't come from the Ignition module.
