'92 key/ignition problem

A new lock cylinder and key should be available from any parts monger for under $20CA. Your Haynes of Chiltons will have full instructions for replacing this piece.

I recommend changing it now, before it becomes necessary to drill it out...

Thank you! I received the same advice from another forum, too, so its good to hear. I just bought the Haynes manual and it seems an extremely simply procedure (push in thingie, pop out cylinder, push in thingie again & pop in new cylinder). I've never worked on a car before at all, so it is nice to see that this one thing should be easy!

Sad to say, Tyler, all the things we do to our cars aren't usually this simple. Work carefully, since you are new to auto repairs, plan each step (dress rehearsals are something I do on occasion - going through the mnotions without actually doing anything.... really helps when fitting cylinder heads or other difficult to reach assemblies).

Good luck.
