How much trouble is it to change the ignition cylinder on a 91 accord LX, auto transmission car? What are the specific steps?

Mine is starting to hang up when attempting to turn the key towards start position.

Thanks in advance for assistance

 

Mine does that too...you just have to giggle it a bit when you start the car...I actually like it cus no one knows how to start my car...lol

But as for you question I’m not sure I have yet to change mine. Talk to Jimblake or live to rice they will know fo sho

 

Nice vote of confidence there, but ... um ... I've never had to do that.

Are you talking about the key hanging up & not able to turn? That's the lock cylinder.

Or are you talking about electrical flakyness? That's the electrical part of the ignition switch.

This is better in General Tech, so I'll move it.

 

yes, the key hangs up. The electrical portion is fine.

thanks

 

A worn out key may cause this problem. Do you have a spare key that has less wear on it that you can try?

 

considered / tried that. the key is not the problem.

 

You might want to find a locksmith. If you get a lock cylinder from a dealer, it'll have a new key then you have different key for doors & ignition. A locksmith might be able to fix yours and/or re-key a new one to use your same key.
