Default runs only with key in start

i have a 91 accord auto trans that will not stay running unless the key is held in the start position. if i jump b+ to either of the yellow or yellow/black wires it will stay running but have to pull wire to shut off. same with jumping at run relay. is key switch bad? thanks for the help, wade

Ignition switch(electrical) is most likely toast...
