Tl*the contact owns a 1993 ford tempo. The engine would not turn over, but when the key was slightly turned in the ignition, something electrical in the vehicle would start. When the contact changes the key slightly in the ignition, he loses all power and can hear an electrical spark as if it is attempting to make a connection. The vehicle goes from having no power to power, depending on the sparking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on three different occasions for this failure.
