    From the sound of it it sounds as if you have a wire conenction that is loose but almost connected, so where it can go from beeing cold, to completing a circuit just by the angle of the PS2. You may want to just take a peak underthe hood and make sure everything is alright. As far as the Spindle issue, Im not sure what I would do withotu seeing it.
