EE80Liftback Wrote:@banpei: Isn't your problem caused by the steering lock? It usually happens on my car if there's some force on the wheel pushing the steering wheel in to the lock (for example if you've turned the steering wheel left (into the lock) while standing still). Usually wiggling the steering wheel frees the ignition key.No, it usually happens when turning off the engine and the steering wheel not locked: if I have trouble getting it to zero-contact it will probably give me trouble when starting. Lately the problems when starting are getting less annoying, but that could also be because now I know how to jiggle with it. I also tried wd40, but this had no effect. However there is one other odd thing: I can remove the key from the lock anytime. So cruising the highway without keys in the lock is possible. This is something about the car which is known by all previous owners. Ivan: can't you take the lock apart and see what is causing it? To replace the lock is not my favorite: I personally prefer the original locks since I had 3 different keys with my mitsu which is VERY annoying when you make a mistake and take the sparekey-set instead of the worn originals: you can't tell them apart. 1982 - TA60 Carina 4dr sedan - fun cruiser 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |
