My car wont stay on!!!
when I stick my key in the ignition and turn itit turns back so it wont stay on. If I hold it it will. So basically I think I need a new ignitoin switch but every where I call they sell me it with the electrical part for 200-300 can i just get one from a junkyard or do I need all the electrical parts from the internals. Also how easy or hard is it to do this please help me out.
Thanks

I can help you, had this same problem.
There are 2 options.
1. Wire in a Push start, like I did and you will be fine.
2. Take the covers off of the steering column.
On the left side you will see a white cap on the end of the key tumbler.
Take off of the cap and you will see the contact areas.
These contact areas need to be cleaned down as you have high spots and are getting very hot, so the current is blocked.
Put the key in, try it and see what happens. It may need more sanding down.
Both options worked for me. The push start is some what easier.

For the push start, does the key have to be in? Because the key wont stay in the last position. It falls back to the second spot unless i tie it or hold it.
