I've got an'86 bird and I've had the same problem. For me it was the ignition contacts inside the steering collum. The cast 'fingers' that held the two pieces together had stretched so they were loose. A tooth-pick jammed in there fixed it. ;)
Oh, you could prob. check to see if that's it: when you start you car, the key has to be all the way forword or it will die. If I giggled my key back just a little it would die. Good luck.
