Starts right up and shuts off, if the key leaves the crank position. Will idle and run only while being cranked over.

It sounds like the ignition switch is bad, but I would check all fuses as well. Here is a guide to help and if the fuses are okay, I would change the ignition switch out. Check out the images below.
