Del Sol starting problem
Ok guys, here's the symptoms. Turn key to accessory: only radio works, no dash lights or climate control. Turn key to"start": engine turns over like normal, full power to all systems. Release key from "start", goes back to "run": car looses power, immediately shuts down.
While running it can randomly die and replicate above symptoms. It doesn't do it every time it starts. While running it runs fine: no sputter, or loss of torque/hp. I've had "idle air control" suggested. And the main relay. I think it has something to do with the ignition switch since the accessory power is fucked up. Anyone have any ideas? |

I do have numerous keys. I thought ignition switch too. Do you suppose I need the whole switch or just the tumbler?

Not a direct solution to your problem, but highly suggest some detachable key rings for preventing the same issue in the future:
