Hey guys, just went to go to my final exam today...put the key I used all yesterday to drive my 85 944 in...and it doenst turn! No matter what I do. Move the steering wheel, spray wd40..etc..what do you guys suggest?
thanks
mike

 

Push you car forward and back a few feet, while moving the wheel, that might help???

 

It is a sign. Do not drive the car until you do the belts!

 

While I've not experienced this on a Porsche,so have no specific insight with Porsche ignition locks, this sounds exactly like what happened with my BMW. The lock cylinder jammed and would not turn because a small bit of metal broke and fouled the innards of the steering lock, which is a separate part. Dis-assembly and removal of this small metal pin cured the problem. Just to be safe, I replaced the lock cylinder too, as it was old and worn. For the Bimmer, a new lock cylinder already set to accept my old key cost $58. Again, I do not know if this applies to Porsche, but may be a good place to start.

 

My car did the same thing back in december when it was cold out. I ended up not driving it that day and got a ride to work. The next day it worked fine. I thought it was just the cold.

 

If its a new key or a copy it may be just a hair too long, especially when its stinken hot as it could have expanded just enough. Happen to me about a month ago. A "better" locksmith cut a new key and its fixed.
