Default igniton problems on my Z

so a while ago my car started acting up. most of the time it would start up and run just fine but every once in a while when i started it it would immeditly wanna die unless i held th gas at a steady rpm. but if i took the key in and out a few times and turned the car on and off it would be fixed . it practially went away for a while but now it is back worse than ever the car wont stay running unless i stay on the gas keeping it at 1k rpm . i headrd it may be the prongs in the igniton switch not contacting sometimes ? any ideas or how can i find the igniton switch

That doesn't sound like an ignition problem.

any ideas on what i can start checking? in the haynes manual it says " car starts but immediately dies" (which mine does unless i hold the gas) is loose or faulty ignition wiring. where can i find the ignition switch in thi thing anyways
