Where does the start rod go in the ignition switch 90 chevy full size pickup

If the starter and solenoid is good and not hanging up I would check the Ignition switch to make sure it is releasing back after turning it to the start position. Be sure key is not sticking.

Is the security light flashn after it dies?prob Pass lock. Google s10 pass lock...... Check your pump by clamping return fuel line an if it helps your fuel presssure low. May needa pump.
If I'm not mistaken it takes more pressure to crank than to run.

there a long rod on the steering wheel coming from key ing my is face stright up do i have to take the steering collom appart to straight it out

Hope this helps you! Please don't forget to rate....thanks!!

as long as it has the same slide size it should be fine.good luck

Put the trans in nuetral and see if it starts normal with key. If not, then the ignition swith is suspect. The actual switch is mounted on top of the steering column on the lower end. It is actuated by a rod. the key has no electrical. or your trans linkage needs adjusting. Good luck, Ned-

Hi there yep the switches are basically in the same location.Try the next time this happens to bump on the steering wheel while cranking or pushing in on the steering wheel towards the windshield if it starts right up you'll know for sure that its the switch or its out of ajustment.
