Re: removing key
Put the truck back in gear and then return the shifter to PARK. Sounds like the linkage between the 2 is screwed up.:2cents:

Re: removing key
You can snuff the engine out by completely covering the air intake. Once the engine dies, you can safely disconnect the battery. If you disconnect the battery w/ the truck running, it can do some serious damage to the alternator and the wiring.
EDIT: If you have a CO2 fire extinguisher you can flood the airbox w/ CO2 and that'll shut it off also w/o doing any damage. DO NOT USE A DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER!!!!

My Typhoon just did the same thing. :rant:
The easiest way to kill your engine is to pull the vac.line off the fuel psi regulator.

But make sure you dont let go of them while you do this. You wouldnt want them to arc to something and cause a fire :rotf:dgoodhue said:

Re: removing key
We had a ignition setup at uti so we could see how it all worked. We used to form a line across the room and the first person to let go lost but caused everyone before them to get the shit shocked out of them. Funny game, never lasted more than about 20 seconds.

Re: removing key
Its expensive. Dont let them sell it to you because of the free tools, you only get about $500 worth and a limited selection. You also wont get a 2 year degree unless you go to the arizona campus. Housing is about $700 a month at least and you wont have time to work much. Stonegate apartments will rape you. There are good things about it though, it was a lot of fun. You have to apply yourself though and try or you will leave there and end up at jiffy lube for $7 an hour. Take a manufacturers program if you can. The guys at my work(also from UTI) that took those make about $7 an hour more starting out.gkrcr882 said:

Had to bring this to the top. Is this a readily available part? Mine shit the bed while I was TDY and I have a few days to fix it. My friend was watching the truck and the key stuck on. Luckily he choked it and disconnected the battery.
I need to fix it before Tuesday so I dont have to store the Syclone for 6 months without running.

Re: removing key
Well, got the new ignition switch. rented a steering wheel puller and a lock plate remover and it took me about 15 minutes of work (minus the trip for the switch after removing and breakfast). Very easy to do with the right tools. I remember doing this on my 77 Firebird and it took like days to do without very good results.
