ignition switch

[Archive]

The other day I went to shut off my '93 and my ignition switch did nothing. I went from start position to accessory twice without any reaction. I waited for a minute and it worked fine. Has this happened to anyone else out there or an I just blessed?

Seems like I remember reading something about a recall for ignition switches. Will look tonight and see if I can find it.

Could be a sign of a failing injection pump. Metal contamination can jam the fuel shut-off solenoid valve. I saw this same squawk myself when my truck had about 18,500 miles on it. The original pump failed at 22,000.

Ouch Jet Tech!! I'm hoping that that isn't it because my pump was rebuilt 5K ago @ 95K. I change my fuel filter everyother oil change. When I put my starter in the start the starter didn't kick in and grind, unless there is a cut out. I'll hold my breath for something simpler, thanks for the post though.

Boy, I should proof read better, but it is Friday. What I meant to say is, when I put the ignition switch to the start position, it didn't grind the starter gear on the flywheel ring.

See post from Rockcrusher on 8-28-00 regarding recall for ignition switches. I knew I saw something somplace. You need to check in on this as it may be related with your problem
