Im gonna play aroubnd with it for a bit and if nothing comes around I'm done spend ing money on it already. Thanks for all the help.
If it's sucking in vapors at higher RPMs, I'd say you're fine.

Ignition switches are pretty common, and an easy fix at least (if it's just spinning around in place). Although sometimes just fighting the steering wheel to unlock itself can be a bear.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

Key was locked at position 0. Used a hammer to tap it past last tumbler I assume was sticking. Still need to fix it but works for now. You think it's possible to pop the lock cylinder out and run the car without a key without setting off antitheft issues? Don't want to pay for a new lock from Volvo.
