Ignition Locked

Post by cjtully »

I went out to start my 96 MX-3 4cyl today and the key would not turn in the ignition at all. When I moved the steering wheel it did not lock right away but rather seemed to have a lot of play in it before it finally locked.

It is definitely in Park and the shifter is locked in that position. It is cold today but it does not feel like the ignition is frozen.

Any ideas or do I likely have a serious problem?
