I have a mid 90's toyota corolla and at times it doesn't shut off or start with the ignition key.?

Question

does the ignition go through a relay?

Answer 1

just kick it, you may be lucky

Answer 2

your ignition key is worn out! you will have to get a new set( ie. ignition, door, boot and glove box key) or a new ignition lock system. in the latter case there will be two keys and after several months your old key may not lock or open other systems also. so, better to replace them as a set.

Answer 3

try replacing the switch, the key is like a switch it lets the flow of current travel thru out the car. and when it doesnt disconnect the current still flows. spray some wd40 into the tumbler on the switch.

Answer 4

Please examine the skill furnish of the starter motor, a loosen wire might want to reason the shortcoming of skill, and a worn solenoid may also the reason of the shortcoming of skill. If both are high quality, then please examine the ignition change for loosen connection or worn contact element, please restoration or replace the change as needed.

Answer 5

i dunno... but i think its time for u to shop for a new car... your mid 90's toyota corolla is around 10 yrs old already... japanese cars are not made to last that long...
