Best Answer

The parts inside the ignition can be corroding. Solution Spray some WD-40 in there if that doesn't work you may need a new ignition. Keys can wear down and cause this problem, you may want to try a new key before replacing the ignition switch.

Why would my ignition lock up so the key won't turn?

Something you might try is turning the steering wheel slightly before turning the key. The locking mechanism that keeps the wheel from turning if the ignition is off sometimes puts pressure on the cylinder so that the key won't turn, and pulling the wheel to one direction or the other may help relieve that pressure.

I would have the ignition itself replaced. These go out all the time and will leave you stranded. Get a new ignition keyed to your current key and you won't have to do programming. A locksmith can do this for you. Do it soon though before it stops turning.

What is ignition cylinder?

Not quite sure what you mean, sometimes the lock tumbler that you put the key in and turn is called an ignition lock cylinder, if not that, I've no clue what you're talking about? Perhaps you could use it in a sentence or be a little more descriptive. If you reverse the words to Cylinder ignition, that would be when the fuel mixture is ignited by the spark plug.
