Car starts right up then shuts right down. Found that if I hold the key with a little pressure right when you start it, it stays running. Once I let the key go it shuts right down. Is this an ignition problem?

Try this use a jumper wire connect one end to the coil positive terminal and the other to the battery positive terminal make sure its connected properly. Now try to start it-what happend ? If its stays running could be the ignition switch or the wire from switch to coil is open. What you're doing is bypass the ignition switch
