Short story:
Wife took 2001 986 for a short trip. Its new to us, about 2-3 weeks. On the way back she said the key didn't turn. A few times it got the radio on, but then wouldn't go further. It took 7-8 tries and she got it fired up.

After she got home, she tried again, no issue. Thats when she told me and I ordered a new OEM Ignition (~$35). Should be here in 4 days.

Since then, using my key, I have driven 3 or 4 times without issues. Tried her key and no issues as well.

So is it the ignition that needs to be replaced? Her key? Or what?

"CND" - Could Not Duplicate, something I hate!!!

Any help would be appreciated!
I had a similar problem so I removed the entire mechanism then flushed it repeatedly with kerosene. then put a few drops of light oil in it.
No problems for two year now.
