Default 90 accord died at light...

I was driving around town running errands. I parked and went into a store. Came out thirty minutes later and it started fine, got about a mile down the road and the car had shut off.
I am able to start it but as soon as I let off of the key and it settles into the run position the car shuts off. I can start it over and over again and it sounds good starting up but as soon as I remove my hand from the key it shuts off again. I was only about two miles from home so I just drove home with my hand holding the key in the start position. It worked but I do not know what would cause this.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Thanks

Default sounds like the ignition switch

After doing some more reading I think I found that it is the ignition switch wire harness.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get a part number for the electrical part of the ignition switch.
I looked at a few parts breakdowns but the picture is vague and does not give enough detail for me to be certain.
