Hi Rell21,

It is difficult to understand your queston.

You mean the car won't start now? Can it crank?
Are the dashlights showing when the ignition switch is turned on?

Did you blow a fuse when changing the ignition switch?

I didn't blow any fuses and the lights do come on when u switch the ignition on the dash. Its like my car wants to crank but its like it isn't getting any gas or something. Could it be a relay or something of that sort that could be a problem? Oh yea now the car will start but only when it wants too. I can start it up now then maybe after an hour or so it want.

Hi Rell21,

This has nothing to do with the ignition switch.

Repair/replace the main relay and the problem should be solved.
