Hard start!

[I_M_Legend]

My issues have been resolved once again. I was having a bunch of VERY hard starts with my dash lights flickering and was super worried. Then the car wouldn't start at all. I could hear the main relay could hear the fuel pump and all my fuses were good. Decided to check the ignition switch before I looked at the starter. Turns out I just had a dirty ignition switch. I opened it up to see how bad off it was and it wasn't too bad. I cleaned it and now the car starts like it did 25 years ago!

How do you check the ignition switch?

In this case it was the ignition switch causing the issue. You can either clean it (as I did) or replace it. I can't remember off the top of my head how you get to it but I think you take off the knee bolster under the dash and pull the entire ignition key part out. If you take a look at the manual it is pretty clear how to remove it.
