My daughter has an '89 G1 4dr. Last night she called and said her car started fine but when the key position went back to the 2 position, it died. The car would run fine if she kept the key between the 2 and 3 position. Has anyone had that problem before?
It sounds like an ignition switch problem. If you've got a multimeter you should be able to test the switch like they describe on this page of the service manual:
Update: one of my daughter's friends advised her to put the tranny in neutral and try to start the car. It worked! And now it starts normally. Good news but weird.
