Cougar will start and run until I turned the steering wheel or left the clutch out this morning to come to work. Car immediately shut off when I turned the wheel very little or started to let the clutch out. Car would start right back up by turning the key. I'm thinking the ignition switch is the issue because the key turns smoothly & pretty freely. I did not feel any notches when turning the key. It does not take much to turn the key from the run position to the off position. What are your thoughts?

I had a similar problem. it ended up being a vac line to the map sensor.

run codes and see what pops up.

It was definitely the ignition switch here are pics. You can see it is coming apart and got hot.

Better slave it OUT!!!!!!. You will need a plug and pigtail. Get a BOSCH 75 AMP relay and slave it out!!

You know use a relay to handle the current in stead of the switch!!!
