ive done 5 of these in the past 6 months (customers and mine) last one was my teal vx did the same thing with the misfire and tachometer. ignition switchs go bad. NOT THE TUMBLER!! the plastic switch and wiring harness that goes down into the fuse block. way to tell is once the vehicle starts dont let the key go back into the on position hold it forward a little bit and if it stays running in that one position then its the switch. the plasitc switch must wear out and im seeing it pretty frequently. they are pretty easy to do ill post a link of the ebay one i used which worked fine. my aftermarket supplier wants to sell everyting together as one unit (switch/wiring/ignition lock cylinder/new keys) for hundreds of dollars but i found a better way out.
