I drove the 190 to CVS this past Sunday, and when I went to start the car the key wouldn't turn. I've owned this car since it was new and this was the first time this happened. I gave it a little wiggle and it turned so I drove it home and called my Indy parts guy on Monday. After reading all of the threads over the past years, I didn't want to take a chance on it not turning to position 1.

I ordered a replacement tumbler Monday afternoon and it came in on Wednesday along with a new key in it, a lot faster than I thought it would take. I removed the old tumbler this morning and installed the new one. Easy job as long as the key turns to position 1.
