Re: water temps/ignition switch

[kevin f <aventari@detonate.net>]

I can help with the ignition switch problem, because almost the exact same thing happened to me.

I would have to hold the key in the start position to keep the car running. (no, i didn't drive around like that!) :)
Turns out it was the ignition swtich. I had to hot wire the car home (doesn't make me feel that safe when i can start my car w/o a key in about a minute. heh)
It runs about 12 bucks, and i picked it up at the local parts store.
