I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3. Occasionally, when I try to start my car the ignition will not do anything. I will put my key in the ignition and try to turn my key, however it is as if I have locked my steering wheel. I?ve tried pulling the steering wheel as far as I can in both directions as I try to start my car. This has happend 4 times in the past 2 months. Two of the times I could not start my car for 20 minutes. The other two took me 1-5 minutes to start my car. I have also tried using my spare key, which has not resulted in anything. My car is a manual, I?m not sure if that matters. The clutch is always in when I?m trying to start my car. I?ve also tried jiggling the steering wheel back and forth as I try to start my car. What is wrong with my car? What should I do? Thanks! Erin
