Thanks for giving me a starting point everyone and thank you for the other links. I will post to those today also. A friend will be coming over this afternoon to see if he can help with this problem.
I have had this car only for 3 weeks and have not had a problem yet with the key sticking. I called the previous owner and she states that she never had the problem either. She was a 70 year old woman.
The battery is spotless. Actually everything under the hood is spotless. When I removed the battery there was no corrosion at all.
I tried all day on Sunday jiggling the key, moving the shift back and forth making sure that the car is in park and praying that the car will miraculously start. Didn't work. The last time that I got into the car yesterday, there were no chimes. Nothing. I am thinking it is the ignition, that something blew in it the last time that I shut it off. I cant be sure because I had 4 children in the car at the time, (2 are mine and their friends) but I thought when I went to start it on Saturday morning that I heard a pop when I turned the key and then nothing.
My last car was an Olds Aurora that I had for 12 years and believe me I had my share of problems with that car and I have become very familiar with the engine area of the car. I am not afraid to get under the hood and learn how to fix the problem.
