Re: 1991 cavalier strange problem

Sounds like it could be in the ignition switch. They're usually more trouble than they're worth to fix. If that's the problem go to a junkyard and find a Cav/Sunbird or the like with the keys in it an swap it out.

That's just my guess... Anybody else have any more suggestions?

Re: 1991 cavalier strange problem

might be hard to find one with the keys in it. Best bet would be a dealer or ebay

Yea... If you can't find a junker try Ebay. Dealers will charge 2 times what you find it elsewhere. You can also try Autozone. The part's on their site catalog, but no price :-(
Pepboys would have it too, but I wouldn't let them install it (or come within 20' of your car)
