Ignition/starter/key problem
Something's just come up with my car, and I'd like to throw it around here before taking it to the dealer. And let me state up-front that I'm not very car savvy, so if I get a term or part name wrong, just please bear with me. I'm learning.
Also, my car: '95 Acura Integra LS, 4D, 120k+ miles
It's dyin' on me. It'll start just fine, but when the key goes back to the II position after starting it up, it dies. I've checked all the connections to the battery, distributor cap, and alternator, and everything looks okay. And it IS starting. I can even drive it if I keep the key in the III position, but I only did that to get home (not a long distance) after it died on the highway. Anyways, to me it sounds like something may be loose in the ignition/starter switch (this would be the part name I'm not sure about).
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, am I correct about the problem? Again, if so, is this something I can fix myself without taking it to a mechanic? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
