Default starting problems!!

I have test everything, battery,starter solenoid, starter, stater cable, and all are good. I can cross the solenoid and the car will turn over but acts like it is not firing correctly. I checked the wires to the coil and when I took the red wire off the car started turning over continuiously with the key on. I cannot get the car to turn over with the key switch. What could be the problem?? Any help would be appreciated.

something in your wiring is messed up i'm quite sure.
are you saying you had key in ignition and when you remove the cable that goes to coil+ then the engine turns?
