    Starting problems

    I just recently purchased a 1995. I took it out for a ride in the next day when I went to start it wouldn’t start. It turned over really strong but never actually started. Then today I tried a different key and it started. I noticed that when I put the Key in and I can turn it backwards all the way around. Does that have anything to do with the starting? Or use one key to start it then I turn it off but the other Key in and then it starts. Very weird! Any advice?

    you might have a broken ignition switch if its turning all the way round in the slot. if one key starts the car and the other one doesnt then there might be a problem with the chip in the key if you have ews 2. whats the build date on your car? also the car may have had the door locks replaced and different keys to unlock doors and start the car. do all the keys unlock the door?
