If the steering wheel is being pulled to the side (like maybe up against a curb) it could cause the keyswitch to be VERY difficult to turn. Try even pressure on the keyswitch while you work the wheel from side to side.

What happened to the suggestions when you type in a question on WikiAnswers?
Also known as FAYT (Find As You Type), the suggestions have disappeared (as you noticed) for a time, but they will be implemented back into the system later on. Testing needs to be done regarding that.

How do you test the ignition coil on your 1994 Geo Metro?
Disconnect the distributor cap end of the coil wire and attach to an ignition tester. Attach the ignition tester to a good ground, away from any fuel lines. A good spark tester can be made from an old spark plug gapped to 0.200". Crank the engine and observe the tester for spark. If a crisp blue spark is noticed, the ignition coil is working properly. If a pale yellow spark, or no spark, is noticed, the coil is more than likely bad.

1990 Crown Vic turn the key it starts let it go it quits keep key turned it runs let it go it quits already changed ignition switch didnt help?
I noticed you said you already replaced the ignition switch. some cars have an adjustment for the push rod that connects from the ignition switch on the lower part of the steering colomn and the key switch on the upper half. Check to make sure this pushrod is not bent or damaged. You should also consider replacing the (upper key unit if this doesnt correct your problem). The push rod or the key switch(were you put the ignition key)are in my opinion the only two possibilitys. This is my best advise, good luck.
What are symptoms of a ignition coil?
A bad ignition coil normally won't allow your engine to start given there is no spark. If it is starting to go bad, it causes misfiring which can be noticed as a stutter, or random shake of the engine. Check the ground of the coil before replacing it.
How do you remove the ignition without the key 94 caravan?
The caravans have an ignition key module affixed`to the steering column by three screws. Remove the plastic covering the key switch and you will see the screws. Remove the screws and the module can be replaced. My module stopped working so I was going to break the switch to get the car started, when I noticed the setup, so instead of breaking anything I just removed it and went to the wrecking yard with my old key and the key worked on the second caravan I tried. How about that luck!!!
Why does horn go when steering?
On my 1999 Dodge Stratus, I noticed the horn sounding when making sharp turns, then later when going over rough bumps. I was because the four rubber washers inside the steering wheel horn actuator had disintegrated - it was a simple job to pull out the steering wheel air bag and replace these washers.

Sorry, it didn't let me go into detail. But it's when I'm accelerating like sometimes at slower speeds when my car is switching gears or I noticed it yesterday on a freeway. The steering just feels like it goes really loose? Any ideas?
