Tried this fix over the last few days. Just got the ignition free after tons of drilling through the locking pin. Took out the little piece (there was no spring with it haha) and then put the ignition back into the car. After hooking up the three wires on and near the ignition housing I decided to see if the car would start. The car turned over and immediately died. Tried a couple more times and now the car won't turn over at all. Lights and everything else are fine. Any idea what I did wrong?

edit: Put the transponder ring around the key and it worked perfect. I am a genius...Who would have thought the car would need the transponder ring to transmit the signal? haha Anyway thanks for this awesome post! Saved me tons of hassle and money!
