[defbeat]

hey ive had my cb for about a year now and like a couple of months ago i started to notice when i go to start my car sometimes the key gets stuck in the start position and no matter how hard i try i cant prop it back to the run position and wut sucks about this is my starter stays on while my motor runs!!!!!! i really dont want to buy a new starter motor and just recently its been happening again? i kno its gotta be eather my lock cylinder or ignition switch but anyone else have this problem?

had this problem 6 months ago on my 1990, aka 18 year old ignition.

You need a new ignition switch which will come with a new key also. I got mine at autozone, I forget exact cost. Nothing too crazy.

In the meantime, you have to baby it and ease the key to the ON position, let it fire and keep holding it, then flip it back yourself to ON to keep the car running without the key getting stuck in the fire position. Its a bitch, but I had to do that for 4 months while I was broke as fuck.

some junkyards also have ignition switches with keys.

I had the same prob. on my old 90 lx it wasn't the actual ignition switch it was the wires behind it not really sure what their called though you can find them in the j/y most of the time for like $5-10.
