Ignition Switch help :(

[dghii]

1. Buy the $15 ignition switch for your car. NAPA will have it or get it for you the next day. This will not be a 'do the job twice' as the effort isn't that bad to simply replace the electrical portion of the switch.

2. Rough idle - When your car is at idle and 'feels rough', how does your tach look? I had rough idle on a 98 Box I was playing with last summer. After replacing plugs, air filter and cleaning the MAF, the idle still felt rough (compared to my 2000 S). I realized one day at a stop light that my tach was rock steady and showed no fluctuation. I replaced my motor mount (1 hour, not tough to do) and the car idled like new.

The tach does hunt. I found a vacuum leak at the oil filler neck. Hopefully after replacing that it will solve my problems.

But as far as the ignition issue, I should probably do as you say and order the switch and hope it fixs it
