Well it turned out to be the solenoid/relay that was only about five months old. Can you believe this!?!?!?

Well gentlemen all that and the issue is still present. I got everything back together, went to re-connect the negative on the cable and though the key was off the starter wanted to turn. Now would I go solenoid?

Thanks for the link!!!!!! How in heck do I get that roll pin out?

You know guys let me describe what happened so I can get some further input. My ignition lock cylinder is definitely loose so it needs replacing. But this all came about when turning my car on last week and it got stuck "starting". No matter how I turned the key back it just kept turning...

Okay guys can anyone give me some steps for replacing the ignition lock on my 74 Dodge Dart without tilt? Even the master manual I bought doesn't have some clear directions for this repair.

It's the SE model with the 2.5 liter four cylinder. You put that behind a six speed transmission and this commuter car moves very well. I am pleasantly surprised with the layout of the interior and the ergonomics in this machine. I think this car is going to last us a very long time.

Thanks for the input guys it's greatly appreciated. I broke down and bought a 2012 Camry. I am actually pretty impressed with this little car.

I love the style of those Satellites!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys my old Lincoln Mark 7 is becoming so problematic that it's time to purchase a "new" car. Through my bank I want to purchase a good commuter car in the price range of 10 to 12 grand. Give me some good cars that would fit the bill. Perhaps your own personal experiences?

Well the good news is it turned out to be a speedo cable issue. The cable I ordered off of e-bay was way too long and I guess any kink in the cable just wreaks havoc on the whole system. The bad news is with the original speedo cable my speedometer is off by about five mph. It's not a big...

Well I shot them an e-mail and they quoted me $175 which includes parts, labor, and a one year warranty.

Would a lockup be more favorable in terms of economy?

Well gentlemen I installed a new cable and a speedometer from a donor car I thought was functioning okay. All that time and the speedo is twenty miles per hour too fast and bounces violently at low speeds. Do you guys know of a good speedometer rebuilder?

Man you guys have some nice trucks. Hold on to those they are hard to find even out here in SoCal.

I think a little bit of both dirt on the inside and scuff on the outside.
