Hey, I brought my '93 mustang into my auto tech class today. It started it up three times with no problems what so ever during class. But when I was going to leave the key wouldn't go into the ignition. My teacher said that it may be the tumblers and to use PB blaster to try to free them up. At first it started working and the key easily goes in until it gets to about the last tooth on the key. We even tried using a lock pick kit, and graphite paste with no success. So now my car is sitting at school and I have no idea what to do next. Has this ever happened to anybody? Thanks


And sorry for the wall O' text.

Yea, I got a new ignition cylinder. It was actually a lot easier of a fix than I thought it would be!
