I have been having trouble with my starter for 2 years. It mainly only occurs when its warm outside. For some reason I can only get it to start if I jiggle the key real hard, and sometimes it won't even start. I have had to resort to using my remote starter. Anyone seen this problem on max? i know I can;t be the only one.

 

Bad ignition i bet, if remote start works no prob, starter must be fine. Does your key jiggle around alot? Its supposed to be snug.

 

You need to replace the ignition switch. It costs ~30 bucks from one of the wholesale parts dealers. It will take you 15 mins to replace it. I believe a how-to exists in the stickies - dig around - you'll find it. That will take care of your problem.

 

is this a hard thing to do? I am not very knowledgeable when it customs to fixing mechanical problems.

 

Its a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Look up the how to in the sticky - if you don't feel comfortable, any mechanic should be able to do it for you for a small fee. Or post in the regional forums - one of the local guys may be able to hook you up. You haven't included where you are from in your profile.

 

I'm in RI outside Providence

 

Post in the regional forums - I'm sure someone can help you out.

 

If you have a good screwdriver set you will be able to do it yourself. Its a very easy job that you cant screw up on, just takes 5min to learn it

Just buy from a local auto and do yourself

 

While your there, pickup a Haynes or Chilton manual too!!

 

what are the whole sale parts places where you can get this ignition switch for 30.00?
