1993 Dodge Spirit Engine Size unknown Two Wheel Drive Automatic 70,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not really sure what the problem is with my car. Sometimes, I begin driving it, and it all of a sudden begins to shut down, it slows down and then everything turns off. The lights stay on but they are manual, and the radio stays on, but it is not the original radio and everything else doesn't work. The steering weel locks, as well as the tires, and you are unable to rev the engine or anything. This specifically happens when you turn right. The other thing, if this happens, and you shut the car off, and pump the break you are able to get the car started again. I am unsure what this means if you could help that would be great

With the power going off I suspect the ignition switch needs replacing, heres the directions for that and the Shift interlock...
