    Hi I have a 95 Honda Odyssey and a few months ago it started this thing
    where it cuts off when I let go of the key. and then last week it started
    doing it every time I started the van then after about 10 times it would
    stay running until last Monday it wont stay running any more,,But If I
    hold the key in place I can drive it. (I dont drive it like that but I had
    to park it like that.) Any way I am trying to figure out what is causing
    this problem and how much it will cost to fix it.
    Thanks

    its the ignition switch. dunno if that particular year/model was
    involved in the recall, but my 98 civic was.

    At first I thought you meant that you are holding the key in
    the"Start" position, but I think you are trying to say that you just
    hold some pressure on the key and it runs but as soon as you stop
    pushing on the key, it dies. If this is correct, the ignition switch
    is bad.

    They're right: exact symptoms of a bad ignition switch.
