I have a 1994 Honda accord 5 speed. As long as I am holding the key forward it will start but as soon as I let go of the key and the key falls back it dies. Any suggestions

Sounds like a faulty ignition switch. I bet in 20 years that switch has started that car more than 2 times.

After disconnecting the negative battery cable, replace the ignition switch. Here's how:

Ignition Switch Replacement

1. Disconnect negative battery cable.

2. Remove dashboard lower cover and knee bolster.

3. Disconnect 5-P connector from under dash fuse box and 7-P connector from main wiring harness.

4. Remove steering column covers.

5. Insert key and turn it to "0".

6. Remove two screws from switch and replace.
