Key stuck, but..............

kustomkid54 · #1 04-23-2005, 09:18 PM

When I turn car off after short drives, around 10 miles, I can't get key out. But I don't care about that. Should be able to fix that alright.
But, when this happens, if I try to start, the motor just shakes. I mean to the point the tail pipes rattles. I turn it off, wait a min. and it starts up fine, AND KEY COMES OUT. This has happened every day for the past three days when I get to work. But, when I drive it home at night, when it's cooler. I don't have any troubles. Now before it drives me nuts AND I REALLY DO SELL IT. Any ideas?

Thanks

I have the same problem sometimes and I have to turn the car back on, let it run for a minute and turn it off and try it again. Pisses me off, do not know the reason though

: Haven't been pulling your dailies or weeklies or pms. Shame on you Kid. Hope you get it fixed. BTW - Why are you selling it?

I was asked that a couple weeks ago. I always look for new cars. Put alot of money into it. Time to look for something new. If I sell it, I look. If I don't (which as you can, I'm not listing it anywhere) I don't.
Had a guy that wanted to trade a 1991 Vette not it. Thought that was funny.

She's a beauty. Some times it hard to let em go. Trade a '91 Vette. What RPO option did he have on it? Either way good luck selling it.

You know you never told me what happened to that HAWK missile you guys fired at Sea Range/Yellow Sea in Korea. I'll tell you about our subchaser HAWK off the NATO firing range in Crete, Greece back in '75.

Never received reply.

Can't work on anything. Have three cracked rims. Old Army, football, and old age injury. Messed them up in the Army, screwed them up playing football. And banged them up, when I got old.

My bro talked to one of his buddies and his buddy works at the GM plant or w/e and the problem is that the wire harness or wire in the center consoul gets over heated....and u cant take the key out until it cools down thats y...all u have to do is put tape around it. My bros buddy said that happens all the time its just a bare spot in the wire.....put tape around it and u shouldnt have any problems
