AT FIRST THE ENGINE WOULD SEEM AS IF YOU WOULD BE SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, WITH THE CAR STARTING TOO BUCK THEN RUSUME. AFTER PLAYING WITH THE IGNITION KEY ( WHICH SEEMED A BIT SLOPPY ) I RELIZED THAT I COULD CREATE THE SAME SITUATION.I CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY LOCK AND AT FIRST IT SEEMED BETTER. HOWEVER IT STILL IS TOUCHY IN THE RUN POSTION. DO YOU THINK THE SWITCH HOUSING COULD BE THE PROBLEM OR SOMETHING ELSE. ALSO FOR SOME REASON IT SEEMS BETTER WHEN THE CAR IS WARM. THANKS

If i'm not mistaken the ignition switch(not key) is adjustable(it slides back and forth at mounting?)To insure proper position allowing for slight manufacturing differences? Another thing common for jerking which seems spark related is the coil/coil wire or cap rotor?
