Sounds like the ignition switch took a crap on you man. I had a toyota camry at work that did the same thing a couple days ago. You had to hold the key in a certain position to keep it running. The lady had a s*** load of keys on the key chain. The car was a 2000 model and the only thing i can see is all the weight was the reason for the premature wear on it. Hope that helps.

 

thanks for the advise anyone else

 

Sounds like the switch to me. You can find some info on replacing it on my Tech Page.

 

ok thanks for the help
