Default Ignition interference?

I just assembled a 1/5 Phoenix Waco (beautiful plane btw). Has a DLE 20 RA and a Spektrum AR8010T receiver.
When started it runs about 3-5 seconds and shuts off. I then notice that the receiver is now not responding as well. If I shut everything off and then back on the radio works fine----but once I start the motor the problem repeats itself. I'm using separate packs for the receiver and ignition. I have the opto kill switch and the rpm sensor for the telemetry.
Anybody have an idea what the problem is? Receiver? Ignition? Switch?
I'm stumped.....
