I followed the DIY instructions in these strings and I was able to change my ignition switch. I do have a few bumps on my head and did have some minor claustrophobia (and I am only 5'10" 195 lbs). I actually did drop my screwdriver a few times, but since I read up a bit I tied a shoelace to the end of it and was able to easily retrieve it.

My issue is the car starts, no problem, but even if I floor the gas I can't get it above 1500 rpms. Does anyone know if there is something I did that is tied to the fuel injection? It was nice to be able to turn the key smoothly again, but if I can't drive it there is no fun in it.

Thanks
