joker -

Check that ignition switch. I had that same problem with my 37 and it really got scary when I was moving at about 60 mph down the Airport Freeway in the left lane and it died. I had to cut in front of an 18 wheeler eek over to the right shoulder to stop. There was no shoulder in the left lane. :mad: When I stopped, I started it again and drove on. About a mile later, same thing. This had happened several times prior to this incident. It just kept getting worse. Finally, it wouldn't start. One day I was trying again to start it and found if I held the key a certain way, it would start and run - as long as I held the key. It than became obvious that it was the ignition switch. It was wore out. I'm willing to bet good money that's your problem and if it isn't - I owe you a cup of coffee! grin

A new ignition switch insert should fix it. You can buy just the insert. They usually pop out by putting a paper clip in the small hole in the switch.
