So I know there's a ton of no start threads, but this one is different. I was driving down the road and my car completely shut off. No gauge lights or nothing. I pulled over and turned the car off, and back on and had no lights at all. I tried to turn it over, and the gauge lights turned on, it started for a second, literally, and died again along with the lights and power. Tried again and it did the same thing. Eventually I turned the key to on, my lights came in, it started and ran just fine. Now it's doing the same thing but it won't stay on. any idea what it could be?

Looking for my next Teg..
you have a failing ignition switch... common issue on these older cars. sometimes the switch goes bad sometimes the contacts become corroded just enough to perven clean flow of electricity causing the car to shut off right after it catches.
