help with my 99tl possibly the switch

I am having some problems with my car 99 tl 130k the car would shut off by itself and it would take about 15mins to start ,now i realize that if i wait for a while until i see that little green light that shows the key in the ignition it will start with no problem but until that green light comes up it will not start , now my question is should i just replace the switch or does it have something to do with the imobilizer reader as i read on some other post.
thanks guys

shutting off by it self is usually the ignition witch. When it doesnt start does it just sit there and crank or nothing at all?
