ignition cylinder lock
 

im having a problem with the key/ignition in my 88 camaro... no vats or anything fancy in 88! problem is it wont unlock unless u fiddle with it and get it just right... once u get it just right it turns the rest of the way as freely as could be. think ill need to replace the cylinder or what?

Is the key pretty worn out? My dad's old '84 Silverado was like that near the end of it's life a few years ago. Key was really worn, had to wiggle it around like crazy 1/2 the time to get it to start, but once you did you could just pull the key right back out.

Yeah, sounds more key related. Try shooting some graphite into the cylinder, might help.

yes key is worn... i had a new key cut but it doesnt work... the old key is terrible and prob a horrible template to try and cut a new key off of

you are awesome... works a lot better now, i just happened to have some in my basement
