    the key could be stuck in the ignition because of some dumb solenoid in the steering column. Common problem. I have this problem. There is a little plastic cap on the bottom of the steering column you can just pop off and shove something up there until you hear a click. That will release the key.

    My best guess on that problem. I've never heard of a 3.2L before...but okay. check it out.

    3.1 is the closet thing to that. GTP was a supercharged 3.8 liter V6.
