ignition

  1. M

    1991 corolla sometimes takes a second after key turned to start.

    I sometimes have a 1 second delay after turning the key ...or it might be that I then turn the key a little farther and it starts. It isnt slow to turn once it connects any ideas is it the ignition going bad? Starter solinoid? what do you think?

    Possible ignition bad?

    I have a 95 corolla and the problem I am experiencing is when I put the key in the ignition, I get the dinging noise. When I go to start the car it just continues to ding, no radio, no dash lights. Headlights won't turn on, high beams do work however. What could the problem be?
