Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) i was driving home and my 95' acura integra 4 door gsr died on the highway (2)if i tried to start the car, it would start then die as i let the key go. i found that if i held the key close to iii then the engine would stay on. i got home and took apart the ignition harness and noticed that there was a spot where the contact point was pitted. that's when i figured the ignition harness switching mechanism (by the key ignition cylinder) was not getting good contact. (3) i tried to sand off the pitted part and put a layer of solder over it, but it still dies after a while. then i would have to do it again. i'm temporary doing this till i can afford a new ignition harness. *jb
