Intermitent stalling and NO start - Ignition switch??? 200 1987

I've been working the past week trying to identify the problem for a intermitent stalling in my brick.

1. Coil was tested
2. ICU conector was checked. Apparently the PO had the connector fixed since it had the sleeves. Connector was cleaned and dielectric grease put in,
3. Cap, rotor, cables, plug all have less than 6 months.
4. Grounds, fuses all OK

Finally it seems that the problem is the ignition switch, if I play with it after a stall it will turn on (Power windows won't work when stalled, to save battery power I play with the switch while trying to operate the windows, when the windows work the car will start).

I see more information on the FWD and 700 forums on this matter, but not much on the 200. Is this a problem also with the 240.

Should I change the whole switch or just the electric portion?

Thanks for the help
