Engine cuts out without any apparent pattern. My ignition key seems to have a lot of 'play' within the 'run position' - ignition switch. Just jiggling the key within the run position makes the car stall out (simulates the problem). Connected a rubber band between key - dashboard to apply tension to the key to the 'full right position' which improved the situation considerably. HOWEVER, did not fix my problem completely. Still get a stall usually at the most inopportune moment despite having now 'good tension - no wiggle' on the key. Putting the car in neutral and restarting gets me going again - until it happens again. Is there any other explanation besides a (obviously) bad ignition switch??? Thanks a lot. Irene
