When starting the car, turning the key into the "on" position, the dashborard indicator lights do not come on immediatly. Sometimes they are delayed about 10 seconds sometimes i have to keep turning the key on and off. Obviously the car will not start when the ignition is acting up but fires right up as soon as the indicator lights turn on.

Possibly a related issue the car will very rarely shut down while driving. It appears to shut-off completely and looses all power. It will fire right back up as long as the key is working. Thank you in advance for your help.

Right now, it sounds like an issue with the ignition switch. You need to check the feed coming from the switch.
