Jim,
<<Lately, my ignition switch has started acting up. The other day I started
it with some difficulty, figuring that was because it had gotten cold the
previous night. I drove it about twenty meters, and it died on me. I
cranked it for the longest time, figuring I'd flooded it. After a while I
noticed that the blower wasn't working with the key in the run position, but,
when I grabbed the key that time, the blower came on. So
I held the key in that position, and it started right up. Since then, the
problem happened once again.What is most likely the problem? >>
Suggestion - check out the plug where the switch is attached to the wiring
harness. (Under dash) These things become brittle with age and the
connections become loose. There are five wires that come together in this
one plug, and when only one is loose it causes goofy stuff to happen.
Short of that, replacing the switch isn't hard at all, assuming that you
don't also have to replace the key mechanism.
