Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive (http://www.2carpros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=502662#) Automatic 181,00 miles

When starting the car, turning the key into the "on" position, the dashborard indicator lights do not come on immediatly. Sometimes they are delayed about 10 seconds sometimes i have to keep turning the key on and off. Obviously the car will not start when the ignition is acting up but fires right up as soon as the indicator lights turn on.

Possibly a related issue the car will very rarely shut down while driving. It appears to shut-off completely and looses all power. It will fire right back up (http://www.2carpros.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=502662#) as long as the key is working. Thank you in advance for your help.

Sounds like the infamous ign switch problems that plague the 97s.
