This is really a fun car to drive. Just would like to beable to drive it. The car is slow starting and now key will not turn. My daughter really wants to drive it too

Update from Sep 19, 2010: Ok I took the car to see my mechanic. I actually could get it started but really took a bit to catch. Anyway the problem was the new battery was not installed correctly. My mechanic tightened the bolts down and the car starts like a champ. Oh by the way my mechanic cost for this $0.00. My parents had had this problem earlier once they had changed out the battery. They took it back to the same mechanic that replaced the battery only to get over charged for replacing the ignition switch. Of course you can tell that switch didn't need to be done.

up untill a couple days ago everything was working fine. i installed an auto start and then found out that i had to also install a VATS system bypass mod. in the process of doing so the black wire to the keylock cylinder was cut causing me to re-learn the system. the key worked fine dureing this process. i started the vehicle and alowed the battery to recharge fully before shutting it off. after turning the key a few times in the process of reinstalling the bypass i came to the point where the key would not turn at all. locked in the off position. i then came to the realisation that i may have broken or disfigured the keylock cylinder parking lock cable. i took the ignition switch apart to check and the key lock cylinder even when seperated still will not turn, leaveing only 2 more solutions. ether the VATS has somehow locked the cylinder or the key lock cylinder is broken (worn out) while apart i could not see any visible reason as to why the VATS would lock the cylinder. if anyone has any sugestions or comments please feel free to make them here or send me an e-mail.
