I have a 96 Honda Civic Ex Coupe, and today it started doing something weird. When I went to crank up my car the key would not turn. I could put the key in, but then it wouldnt move, I kept taking out the key and trying to start the car again, but the key was stuck in place it would not move. Finally after about ten minutes I got the car to start up. Can someone help? I have no idea why it is doing this, today was the first time this happened.. Also once the car was running if I took the key out, I would have to fight with it again for about ten minutes to get it to star.

 

there is a plastic switch behibd the lock cylinder, thos have a tendency to wear out. u can pull it out and check it for wear.. amd you can find it by looking at the fuse panel underneath the stearing wheel. there is a square plug plugged into the fuse box. follow that to the switch.

 

is the key warn down?

 

was the car all the way in park? if its not all the way in gear, the key wont turn

 

did you try turning the steering wheel?

 

yeah, that too

 

yeah, the car was all the way in park, and i did try turning the stering wheel, and the key isn't worn down, I check all those things and still nothing.
