Re: car just shuts off. (jermcramp1)

sounds like a ignition switch, has it ever happen while your driving, and if so can you just turn the key and it starts right back up ( when in gear), cause if that happens then its your ignition switch ( when i say ignition switch i mean the thing you put your key into to start you car)
