Well i was a idiot and lost my keys. Called a few lockmith and most of them coudn't come out till thurs, so i decided to change the ignition myself.

I first tried drilling through the center to break it and turn it with a screwdriver, couldnt get it to sping.

Then i drilled out the pin on the bottom, That realesed the cylinder.

I mutulated the old ignition and i took all apart without as much car as i should have in my rage. lol somewhere in the disambly i removed the top portion of the lock.




Now trying to install the new lock. I relize in order to get the lock in i need to move the postion to run on the new lock and the columun, Okay great key is in and it spins. clicks 3 positions but has no spring tention when trying to start.
I figure i plug power back in and see if atleast get power to the key, nothing dead.

while removing the old ignition i believe i broke this piece.



With all this said not sure what to do, Car is somewhat a track car, so i am not opposed to putting a push start. What is my best option here. Im just hoping i did not break the column. With what i know now i could do one in 30 min i just cant figure what i broke or didnt set write here,






thanks guys

found that i was missing a main piece the metal one with the teeth put it lined up, and tried to do key relearn but it only blinks for a min then goes off. tried to start and it starts then dies. i take it that blackwire and ring are for pats?

You need to disable your pats system to work.

okay so i got the key in power on. theft just flashes will start then die. I realized i have broken the wiring to the ring that goes to the key. Can i just get that part i noticed it can be removed from the module. or is there a bypass module that works

The "ring" is the antenna for the PATS transceiver, you'll need a new one--or have PATS disabled in the tune. There is no commonly available bypass module or "trick" of which I am aware....

I must say im very perturbed by the fact u set a pair of pliers and a metal ignition cylinder on a painted surface of the car, but ya u need to do something with the passive anti theft
