Key won't turn...lubrication? Graphite?
Within the last two weeks, my 94 Ford Tempo has had problems with the key not turning in the ignition. With much coaxing, I managed to get it to start, however, last night, someone told me that the cylinders needed more lubrication (they were getting stuck) and that the best lubrication for it is graphite. He told me that I could get graphite oil at an auto parts store.
Could someone please clarify what this means? I looked in auto books and searched Google, but I couldn't find more information about this. Last edited by AshleyAshley; 12-29-2003 at 04:05 PM.

Might be easier to just replace the lock.Most auto parts have this for 15 u.s. or at least the autozone near me does.
You can also ask more if need be at www.tempotopaz.com

Re: Key won't turn...lubrication? Granite?
Well, I actually did find powdered graphite...inside a hobby store! I called two auto parts stores and they both didn't carry it--one suggested a hobby store and the other store agreed that it would be the best place to find it. The graphite came in a little tube, and after squirting it twice inside the ignition...poof! Haven't had a problem since (yet)
