Hi,

Does the ignition switch for a 1994 1.7TD Cavalier have an imobiliser.
I need to replace the barrel (and probably switch as it looks like a
small plastic lug has broken). Is this a simple remove and replace job
or is there more to it. I still have original key and barrel turns. I
think what happend was that the tang snapped inside the ignition
switch. Currently using a screwdriver to start the car after forcing
switch off barrel.

Thanks

Jim

If the car starts without a key anywhere near the ignition barrel, which
is what your post suggests, then there isn't an immobiliser.

Used to have one of these years ago.
Just a key, no immobilser.
If its good condition keep it, I always regretted selling mine.
