2003 acura 3.2 tl type s ignition problem
Key works in doors but when in the ignition it will not turn at all. Have moved wheel etc..is my ignition out?? Has anyone else had this problem? Worked fine until now, no problems what so ever. Any help is appreciated before I call a shop for a new ignition. Thank you

Give your steering wheel a good tug to one side or the other to free up pressure on the ignition shaft (i.e. hold the wheel to the side and turn the key).
Also try giving your shifter a wiggle.

My key wouldn't turn a few weeks back and doing this got it working again, haven't had the issue come back.

Tried this and nothing. Won't budge. Had to have a new key made a few weeks ago because we lost original. That key worked great till now. Have found original and it didn't work at all. The new key is a little different. I'm trying to figure out if the locksmith can fix this or if my ignition is done. Thanks

Try lightly sanding/filing the high points of the key to wear them down slightly. Do one at a time and try it in between each filing.

hey rjblondie,
i just had this similar problem couple weeks ago.

if your key wont turn at all once inside the ignition cylinder, you probably have to replace the key cylinder itself due to the tumblers being worn out.
once the new cylinder is replaced, you have to program the new keys that come with it.
goodluck
