Honda Accord Ignition Switch Repair
Wilson’s question:
My old 88 Accord won’t start up and run. When I crank the engine, it starts right up, but as soon as I let go of the key, it dies. Every so often it will start and run fine, but normally it just dies.
Answer:
That’s normally a classic example of a worn out ignition switch. You get power to everything when you crank the engine over in the starting position. But the switch is internally shorting out, and has now power to the ignition system or fuel system when it goes back to the running position as you let go of the key. You just need a new electrical portion of the ignition switch. All good auto parts stores can get you one for a car that old.
