My newest problem started yesterday. When I turned my key to start the truck it started but when I released the key it died. At first I thought it was some kind of big vaccuum leak but I found nothing wrong under the hood. When I checked further I found I could start the truck and hold the key to keep it running. If I am very careful the key wil stay in the proper position to keep the truck running. Unfortunately if I hit a bump or something it makes the key slip and the engine dies. Has anyone experienced this? I'm guessing I probably need a new cylinder but thought I would ask here first. Thanks for anyhelp you can give. 1988 Ranger xlt
