a car im looking to buy has ignition problems... but it isnt speicific...

what would be the most common problem with ignitions?

its an 87 gxl

 

Man, thats a very vague question. It could be anything. You have no other info to give on whats wrong or anything?

 

well the only 2 problems that they told me it had were an ignition problem and a starter problem

im waiting for an email back from the to see if they can pin point the problem

 

i got an email back... she says that the ignition switch is shot and needs to be replaced...

so where can i pick one up, besides on a junk car

 

is this what i need

Well as long as they are right just the switch (second one). But would suck if its the assembly and you have to return, then buy the 1st one. I would be safe and go with the first one (as long as your not on a really tight budget), ya never know how car savy these people are.

 

i just realized something... after i replace the ignition... i wont be able to use that key with the doors or the hatch, right? so then what do i do? would i have to go out and buy new locks for the doors and the hatch? or just keep the original key around and use that as the door and hatch...
