Default New with question

Saw a 90 DX on ebay I just had to have. Drove to Maine Thurs nite and came back Sat nite w/DX in tow. It's really clean and ran well for the test drive. When I came back with the tow dolly it started, stalled, and would not start? Got home and it started fine to get off the dolly. Started a couple times since to move around. Former owner said, as an after-thought, he "Jiggles" the key when it does that and it usually starts....didn't work for me. (???) Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can this be purchased aftermarket? Or is it a dealer-only item?

Been a while. Got some vacation days and tackled that ignition. It's not that complicated to disassemble and reassemble. There are several contact points inside that need cleaned. They were black and should be a brass or copper color. Once those were cleaned the car has been starting every time....so far!!

Anyone parting out a CRX? I need a battery tray and the driver's door pillar trim.
Thanks!
