  After several episodes of that, it did start and I backed it out of the
  garage, but then it died and refused to start again.
  There is no power to the gauges or warning lights in the Run position.
  I had similar symptoms with my Alfa once, and it was a bad ignition
  switch.
  Anything else it could be?  I am not very good with wiring diagrams, so
  I thought I'd turn to everyone's extensive knowledge before struggling
  with it.
  Thanks,
