I pulled the console and the ignition thinking that the cylider was shot also, as it turns out, the key and cylider just turns a cog that engages the actual electrical part of the ignition. In my case, 16 years of junk had accumulated in the area under the console where the switch is, causing binding in the turning motion (my car wouldn't turn off, seemed like ignition cylider or rev l/o). Once I cleaned all the crap out everything spun like silk....cog was free to do it's job. Didn't even require pulling the cylinder.
HTH, Skip
