ABS or Ignition problem? Car won't start in heat. 850 1996

I have been having the ABS TRACS lights that seems common with 850 owners. I first noticed it a couple of years ago, on an unseasonably warm day, the ABS and TRACS lights would stay on and the car could not be put into gear. I have found that if I jiggle the key in the ignition, it always fixed the problem. But it has been happening more frequently and at progressively lower temps as the car ages. The other day was the hottest we've had this season and the car wouldn't start at all. But, later in the day as the temps cooled, it started just fine. Are these two related? Is the problem with the ignition or with the ABS module? Also, on warm days after I've driven the car for a while, sometimes the lights appear while I'm driving. I haven't had any trouble with the speedometer not working. I will need to take it in to be repaired, so I would really like to have an idea of what's wrong before I trust someone else to fix it. Thanks!
