you have a bad igniton switch... common issue on hondas of this generation.

what happens is as long as you hold it forward the key sends a ignition signal but as soon as you let go it drops the signal. easy way to check for this one is with a test light. Take the lower dash down (the fuse cover) and find the black/white wire which will be run in a bundle from the streeing column to the fuse box.

Take a test light or volt meter and probe this wire. at rest the wire will show no voltage but when turned to the 2nd click the on position it should show 12v if it does not then you have found your problem, if it does then youhave a issue somewhere else probley in the dizzy but i doubt it.

check this out and then let me know you can call me at 314 651 1201 my cell for more help.

that is it, i couldnt remember the name of it, and i think its the switch too, but it could be a ignitor, i have a good switch here at the house, but its out of a 90 integra, not sure if that helps or not

n2hifi is right we just fixed the same problem in my buddies civic not to long ago. if you hold the key forward it will actually stay running. good luck
