I had one M35 with a similar problem and also suspected the switch. Turned
out that the relay mounted on the side of the block had a bad ground
connection
within, and if you held your mouth just right the thing would start, then
bugger
up again seemingly out of malice.
When next it happens, remove the plug from the back of your switch and jump
it with a pair of pliers or suitable bit of wire (unless you've already done
so.)
