1982 280zx Auto, N/A.
For about 3 years now I have had issues with the key start on my car. Gradually it got worse. I used to be able to start my key with a couple times of turning the key to the start position, then down the road, eventually I had to turn the key to the start position more and more before the car would randomly start.
Eventually, it got to the point where it was 50 key turns before I could start the car. Because of that, I got a push button start installed so that I can turn the key to the ON position, let the fuel pump hum and prime, then push the button and my car starts. I have used that method for about 2 years.
I want to use my key tumbler to start my car again, properly.
I apologize for being unintentionally funny in the video. I say "start" a few too many times and it's a little silly. Oh well. Not re-shooting the video. It is not only for troubleshooting purposes but enjoyment purposes as well I suppose.
-Helpful Information-
Watch the video:
-A relay clicks in the glove box area when the key is turned to the on position, I think that means that the relay is good.
-Sensor light comes on only when the key is turned to the start position, but car doesn't start.
-If the key is held on the start position, the sensor light remains lit.
Ask any additional questions.
Thank you.
