I just replaced my ignition switch that was randomly failing for over a year and making me crazy. It was making a bad connection internally, and sometimes the fuel pump would shut off, making the car act as if it weere running out of gas. Other times the hot wire going to the points/coil would go dead and kill the motor. If I jiggled the ignition key in the switch, it would re-start.
