I got stuck last night. When I turned the

I got stuck last night. When I turned the ignition, just before the engine turns over, there was no tension felt in the key. I don't know if I am explaining right, but when you start a car there is spring back from the ignition spark to where the key sits while driving. I am no longer getting the spring back and car does not start. AAA went under vehicle and "jumped the ceninoid" and car started up. Is this thi ket cylinder that needs to be replaced??

More than likely the ignition switch is bad.

Idle not stable. engine dies off when i turn my sterring full swing.
For the idle not stable,should be problem with the ignition system (high-tension line or plugs) or fuel supply & air supply. please both systems. For the engine stops at full turn,when come for the full turn position the engine gets over load.so because of your 1st problem the engine can stop.Also some times the pressure release valve stuck,the second problem can be come.

yes, it can. Anything with a pulley and a bearing can seize up from the air pump, to the alternator, to the idler tension pulley, to, yes, the a/c compressor.

I have a 2002 Pont Aztek and the key will not turn, I have moved the tilt up and down wiggled the wheel back and fourth no tension and key will still not turn
Make sure the car is fully in park first. Second, those have an ignition lock switch that may have gone bad. And last, there is a security feature that will lock the ignition. I had ti have mine replaced with the key still stuck in it. Good luck

2003 Trailblazer- no power after key stuck in ignition
Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.
