I have a 97 Grand AM SE 31.L with automatic console shift. I had to replace the ignition lcok cylinder, and I did so, performing the Pass-Lock relearn succrssfully. However, the new lock cylinder won't stay in RUN all the time, and hence the engine dies. Does anyone know what keeps the key lock cylinder in the RUN position? There seems to be a fair amount of torque on the lock cylinder forcing it to the OFF position, and there is a slight detent in the lock cylinder which sometimes holds the cylinder in the RUN position, but not always. Is there a spring in the ignition switch which puts a force on the lock cylinder when in RUN, or what? (Obviously there is a spring somewhere to force the lock cylinder out of the START position to RUN....is this in the ignition switch?) If I know where the torque is coming from, maybe I can do something to lessen it. Any help?
