I got a 1996 Acura Integra and it shuts off randomly, any ideas on what it could be?

When I drive. It randomly shuts off and the dash lights shut off as well. When I try to start, often it will start but shuts right off.

Check the battery connections. It could also be a faulty ignition switch as well if you loose all power.

A Bad ignition switch was my guess as well cause when I turn the key to the "start" position. None of the dash lights come on unless I tweak the key a little. It's just started doing this :(

Thank you!
On a scale from 1-10. What is the difficulty of replacing an ignition switch? Is it a do-it-yourself?

7. If you have never done it before, I suggest calling around for a bid to get a shop to do it for you,
