i know many ppl posts about car dies after starting. i think my issue may be different from others.

for a few days now, when i start the car, the engine would run for like one second then dies, have to try a few times for it to run successful. sometimes it does that and sometimes it starts up fine. it occurs in both hot and cold days.

what s first thing i should check for and how to "test or check"?

it may be important for you to know that since the day i got the car, i have difficult time to have key in the ignition and turn. i d have to struggle for the key to be able to go to the run position. would this issue be anything relate to the engine dies??

Check if your steering wheel is locked
