While driving my 2003 Buick Regal, I made a right turn in town and it died, all the dash lights came on and stayed flashing. I attempted to restart and it did, however it was running VERY rough and I coasted to the side of the road.

I made several attempts to restart and it would turn over but would run VERY rough and then die again. It will not go into Neutral with the switch turned or when it turns over (wont stay running long enough).

Car is now at the shop, and I am waiting for a call to hear what is wrong. Please help.

You probably should take a fuel pressure reading. A bad fuel pump will act like that.

OK, Mechanic says its the Ignition Switch, the part costs $100, labor is $260. Hopefully this is the problem. I should get my car back on Monday. Ill let you know if I continue to have problems with the car.
