[DeTomaso] Pantera Won't Start but has fuel, spark, good timing etc. Baffled and need Advice

[Mike Becker]

This is the statement that me think the engine was running while cranking, but would not continue running when you stop cranking:

... It cranked fine, would sound like it wanted
   to fire but would not.  Even when I floored the gas pedal while
   cranking it (like for a flooded engine) it would rev up very high like
   it was running but would not catch to keep running...

Mike,

I immediately thought of that too. But in the scenario you describe, the car will initially start and momentarily run until the key is released from the spring-loaded start position. Mike didn’t indicate that there was so much as a pop of combustion. In that case, if it was the switch, it would be both wires that failed at the same time which is unlikely?
