98 CSE ignition LOCK

The lock (not the ignition switch) on my 98 CSE behaves differently from the lock on my 89 9000 turbo.
On the 98, the cylinder moves in about 1/8" as the key is rotated to the first position. After rotating beyond the first position and returning to the initial key insertion position,it is no longer possible to rotate the key. It must be completely withdrawn, allowing the cylinder to pop back up again. Unless the key is completely withdrawn the cylinder will not pop back up and it prevents me from rotating the key a second time.
Is this normal cylinder bahavior for 98s?
As for the ignition switch. Is it capable of allowing my fuel pump to drop out momentarily? In combination with a dodgy fuel pump relay? (The relay contacts are pretty pitted.) This has happened a couple of times recently. Just for a moment. But I'm trying to stay out of the gas tank.
Many thanks,
Andrew
