I don't know what forum this goes in, so if it needs moved, so be it.

I have a friend who own a 1995 LT1 Camaro, and he cannot turn the key over in the Igntion. He has tried everything to make it turn forward, and it has never done this before. What could be wrong with it, and how do we go about fixing it ASAP?

Links? Suggestions? Instructions? Anything is appreciated!

If I'm understanding you right, I had the same problem. If its the same thing that I had, your screwed. It was a while ago and I don't remember exactly what was wrong, I just remember the key wouldn't turn, so I brought it to the shop and they had to replace the whole ignition or something like that. It was locked up or something. It was pretty pricey. Might not be the same thing though.

sometimes mine gets a lil stuck and I have to jsut jiggle the sterring wheel a lil bit and it frees up...does he have a spare key to try?

I've read a couple things on here pertaining to Lock Cylinder replacement and it seems like it continually points me in that direction. I've also read somewhere a while back that you could buy the lock cylinders from GM still?

Brandon: The car was started in the owners Driveway and left to idle up to Op temp, and when he turned it off, came back later that day, it would not turn forward or backward in the lock cylinder.

So it's definetly ruled out the steering lock.
