So...on my '90 Sierra 305, the ignition cylinder tumbler has always been pretty loose, allowing me to take the key out while running the car. About two months ago I noticed that I was able to turn the ignition cylinder without even inserting a key (which was hilarious and also super-convenient).

After forcing the cylinder to turn without a key, I started to notice some binding and from time to time I would have to re-insert a key to get rid of the binding.

Now, I can't start the truck - she gets no fuel. I suspect this has something to do with the forced ignition. The truck ran and drove fine up until I noticed that it wouldn't start so I don't suspect the fuel pump, although it's clearly not sending fuel. I think that the ECU is not getting switched on.

Will a simple ignition cylinder replacement solve this problem? Does the ignition wire from the ECU wind up through the steering column to the ignition cylinder?

Thanks,

Alex
