Need Help! Ignition problems? mabe

Ok so my 95 Z has been acting up and today it took a dump while driving! OK so I first notice when I was highway driving when gauges are steady i notice they start to flick just a hair (rpm and mph) but noticeable when at steady speed..... then one day the ignition i went to turn over and it was stuck, took some wiggle some jiggle but i got it out of the bind it seemed to be in and started.... Today i try to turn it over and at first dash lights would come on, then complete dead when turned to crank position! I cycled it a couple times it continued, no gauges, no attempt to even start! sometimes the dash light come on and if they stay it will start if not it goes dead and no start.... battery is strong, switches, radio and so on work in the "on" and "run" position but no guage lights(at all now) and when turned to "crank" all turns off and no click from starter no dash lights and no start! This sucks!

Any ideas out there where i can start?

i had a similar problem. I was driving and the gauge needle started to float and then the car died and wouldnt start. Turned out to be the ignition switch under the dash had burned out.A good diagnostic shop could help out. Probably wouldnt cost much for the diagnosis
