okay, my wife drove my car to work everyday since 2 weeks ago.
it a 97 integra ls.
everything was working fine with out any light(check) on.

so about a hours ago she phone me and told me that the car shake it feel like it turning off. she pulled over on the highway and it went dead.

i came and take a look
i turn the key to power ................nothing
i turn the key to on............. nothing. no sign like srs,oil change, CEL, ECT. also i did not hear the relaying making the clicking( click-click) noise. i did not hear the fuel pump working, instrument panel blinking once.

car turn on and turn off right the way.

BUT IF I KEEP IT BETWEEN POWER AND START, the car will stay on...(Picture below)

i hope nobody got thesame problem but agian i hope somebody know how to solve it.

THANKS

your not changing the key your changing the electrical part behind the key. its just 2 cross tip screws.
