I had the same problem. It's the ignition switch. You can buy a new one off Ebay for £35 & it takes about 10 minutes to swap it over to the new one (and I'm not a mechanic). You can see how to do it on YouTube.

it may have to do with the oil dilution problem. once the oil level get too high in the oil pan the "check engine oil}light comes on and the car goes into limp mode and shuts down
