IllustrationENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH IGNITION SWITCH IN THE RUN POSITION. AFTER STOPPING, I HAD TO REINSERT THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO STAY IN THE RUN POSITION. IT WOULD START EASILY THEN STOP WITH SWITCH STILL ON. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH, NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. *TR
