Keep blowing ingition switches
Ok so I was driving to work this morning and while driving my car decides to shut off on me for no reason at all so I put it in neutral and start to coast to try and get off the road well just as I put it in neutral it starts back up on its own. So I figure maybe it just had a hick-up (it happens on an occasion) no big deal, well I pull into a gas station to get some food before work and then it dies again on me just as I pull into a parking spot this time not starting up again(leaving me to have to push it the rest of the way in). After messing with it for abit I get mad and decide to go inside and get something to eat.
I come back out to mess with it more since I only have a few minutes untill I have to be to work.
Well after skillfully placing some speaker wire in the right places I get it to work. I had to make a jumper wire to go from the coil to the battery, when I do this it turns on all acceries and keeps them on but allows me to start the car but I have to stall the car out or disconnect the jumper for the car to shut off, the only reason I thought of this is because this has happend to me before. So I got home earlier tonight and checked the ignition switch, since when it did this before the switch was always be blown, as it is this time, I won't have any cash untill friday to put a new switch in and this is the third switch I have had to put in in the past 6 months and I'm already tired of replace them and ideas on what could be causing it to keep blowing ignition switches
The car is a 91' Trans Am GTA with a 305 tpi and t5 tranny.
Thanks,
Steve
