Sticky Ignition!
Hi All
I have a 1993 Toyota Camry, it seems that in cold weather that my ignition doesnt want to turn over... so I cannot turn my car on. I just stick my key in the ignition and it will not budge!! Well unless you jiggle it, and the steering wheel for 5-45 minutes...!! Do you have any suggestions? Should I put WD40 in the lock? If any one has any good advice please respond!

Re: Sticky Ignition!
How worn is the key? Have you tried using a different key? Had a few people come into the dealership with the same complaint, cut them a new key using the code numbers and all was well. I'm on key number five for my seventeen year old Toyota. I have an unused key to make cheap copies of, so a new key costs just a couple of bucks instead of about thirty to have one cut from code.

Re: Sticky Ignition!
Lube it with graphite powder. WD40 will gum it up.
I, like KimMG, have gone through several keys. You'll probably need a new key.

Re: Sticky Ignition!
Make sure the steering wheel isn't locked in one direction or the other. My Camry has key problems also, but not quite what you're going through.
