Last night after work I went to put gas, then when i turned the ignition of, well I thought i did, I let the clutch out and the car was still running.... I was like WTF
Then i plaed around with the ignition lock and it was loose, like i could put the key in and literaly turn the key fron ACC-off-on.....

Im thinking that I have to replace the lock cylinder, I jus want to make sure it is the lock cylinder??

It sounds like it to me. In any case, it sounds like you need a new lock cylinder, so even if that was not the issue, it wont be a waste. You can turn the car off, right? You just have to wiggle the cylinder to make it shut off (like the positions in the switch are kinda off), right?

Good luck.

Well that sucks. The good thing is that it is stuck in the run position. Disconnect the battery. Then with it in the run position, there is a little button under the cylinder that you press and the cylinder slides right out. Install the new one the same way.

Good luck.

K, i found out what was the problem..... After about 2hrs or so trying to figure out what was wrong, I found out that it was the part were the ignition switch connects to and were you install the ignition ksy lock cylinder to broke... I think the mechanisim in the back broke......

Now i want to know if there is anyway to take that part off, had a hard time trying to take it off to examine it, and also can i be able to replace it my self.....???
