Help! Can't turn ign key 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Crazy brick on  Sat Sep 27 14:38 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Is it that the Key cylinder doesn't move or does the key turn but the engine doesn't crank over? Two thoughts come to mind:

1) Is you Steering wheel locked? If it is, wiggle the wheel a little and see if you can turn the key to start the car.

2) If the car doesn't crank but you can turn the key, is the transmission in Park or neutral? If the trannie is is one of these positions then maybe something about the transmission shifter out of alignment thus preventing the car from cranking over.

Just 2 simple thoughts from a simple guy,

Tim
