Not enough information. If you had it in the dealership and they can't find anything, it could still be anything. Do the lights come on when you turn the key then it won't turn over? Does it turn over but don't start? Does it not do anything? Can you try to push start it( standard transmission only)? Frequently overlooked at the dealership is the basic stuff. They go for the heart of disaster. You have a timing chain on this vehicle so timing belt won't break. But you still have crank and camshaft position sensors. Start there. Then if the lights are coming on but it won't turn over verify the ignition is actually going all the way to start position. Sometimes the ignition actuator pin breaks and doesn't allow the key to turn all the way. Cant suggest more ideas with no information. Could be hundreds of things.

There is a problem with the 'blend door'. This is a common problem, but it's not the easiest to fix. Check to see that the vent control switch is working first. If it is functioning properly, then you will need to pull out the environmental (HVAC) control box and the problem should be obvious.

I just use an old GPS for a truck that has a bad speedometer.

The auto parts store has a special tool for window cranks. you just slide it behind the handle and it pushes a locking pin out .Becarfull not to lose it.

Did you check the oil pressure sending unit?

Get yourself a decent voltmeter and start checking everything from the battery down. Make sure your ground and positive cables are clean and well connected to both block and battery (clean inside where they touch, as well as clean on the outside. Your ignition switch should be on top of column, under the dash. I think your'e trying to remove key switch, which will not get you anywhere.Sitting for long periods promotes corrosion, I would look for loss of electrical contact before looking for failed components.

how long has this been happing..one tank of fuel or more, could have been bad gas, replace filter,, put gas dryier in fuel tank..if it continues could possibly be transmission related..the reving down doesn't sound like transmission though if tansmission was slipping it would rev up..good luck
