Over 165k miles, oil changed quarterly, new battery in January, passes inspections fine, usually very smooth running car. The Engine Check light on dash shows up while engine begins spitting & sputtering. Then the roughness leaves & Eng Check light goes back out. Today could not get engine to turn over for a while & could not remove key after shaking steering wheel & gear shift over & over. Car finally turned over, but had lost all radio stations & window hesitated to go back up. Inside lamps & trunk releases also didn't work when car in "dead" state. Friend said that original key was harder to move in starter insert than a spare I have. Ignition Switch Problem? Why battery fully gone for a while? Extreem Texas heat now 100+ degrees-factor? With Air Conditioner full blast, car was shakey (Eng Check light on). Very dependent on car-assists handicapped 100% wheelchair-dependent person to get around. Tune up 2mts ago.Please contact me at katitan@yahoo.com independently if preferred.
