The ignition switch in my wife's 98 accord went bad a few month ago. The car would randomly shut off while driving, then it wouldn't start back up for another 15 mins or so. It would crank, but not start.

It's an automatic. To diagnose that the ignition switch was bad, I had the car in gear (D), turned the key to the "start" position. The car is not going to start until I put it into neutral or park. Then I'd slip the leaver into neutral, the motor would crank and start up, then I'd slip the leaver back into Drive (so the starter motor would stop).
