Why the key and steering wheel is locked in your 1998 Chevy Cavalier The car was running fine prior to this Is it the ignition switch or ignition cylinder?
It's the cylinder or the key is worn down. Once I ran into a problem where the cover on the wafers rose up and was hanging in a slot in the cylinder housing, but the key would turn but not far enough to start the car. But if it wont turn, I would suspect the key or something sticking inside the lock.
What else can I help you with?
