she starts up, and immediately stops.

The old girl was running like a champ, started up nicely and running as expected several times during the day. My wife takes her to pick up some wings to eat while watching the game. She comes out of the wing joint, attempts to start her up and it's a no-go. Repeatedly, she starts and quits. After some unsuccessful troubleshooting onsite for obvious stuff, we towed her home.

Initially, I was suspecting the distributor, but then I noticed that other electric stuff (car radio, power windows, etc) wasn't working with the ignition switch in the "on" position. After some aggressive switch 'jiggling', I was able to get her started again.

Question: does this sound reasonable (that the ignition switch would just start failing that abruptly)? Or did I just get lucky the morning afterwards that it started? Obviously I have some more tinkering to do, but just running things through my head while at the desk job today. Is there anything I should try to test my theory?

Thanks!
