Default HELP!! 1997 Honda Accord Ignition Trouble

I have a 1997 Honda Accord 5 speed and am having trouble with it stalling - it happens when I start it up and while driving. The engine light isn't on and the radio, lights, air all continue working. I can start it back up right away, but unless I apply pressure to the key it keeps happening. Any ideas... what is causing it and cost of repair. Any advice is appreciated... Thanks!

Listen to me! I am a certified tech through Honda. Your problem is the ignition switch. There is an open recall on the car for this problem. Take your car to your nearest Honda dealer and tell you need the ignition switch recall performed.
The problem is within the switch, it gets to hot and causes the car to stall.
Any questions about it or anything else regarding the car you can give me a ring.
