Engine Mechanical problem
1993 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My gf has a 1993 Buick Regal GS, for the last while its been hard to start the car, the key wont turn in the ignition lock cylinder, we eventually left the key in and it was ok. Her dad borrowed the car and took the key out, now its not starting, he drilled out he ignition as well in hopes to do something.

My question is, is there any way to jerry rig the car to start from a simple toggle switch? like a wire lead off the ignition and battery or something along those lines?

I'm an HVAC student, and shes a 4th year RN student, so we're dead broke....cheaper and easier the better!
Cheers!

It needs to be replaced. In the old days, one could run a push button to start the car. Todays cars are more involved.
