ignition switch problem
The car will not run unless I hold the key in an exact spot (just slightly back without the starter engaged). If I let go of the key the car will die. I was told that the mechanical part (key) of the ignition needs to be replaced (not the electrical switch part). He said there is a spring that goes bad and the key doesn't hold in place and the car won't run. Can anyone confirm this?
