Hray,
Once owned a Buick and if you released the key fast, the motor would catch. Came to find out GM ran a dual voltage ignition system. When in the start position the coil got 12 volts. Once running the coil had 9 volts running to it. The car was a beater, so I made a jumper wire that I ran from the battery to the coil. I would use it for starting then remove.
