Yeah unfortunately youre gonna need a new ignition assembly ..in the mean time id probably disconnect the batery right away if it sits to long it can damage the ecu or other Components but once you change the ignition unit it should all straiten out that is if nothings damaged by that time ..but I do think theres a good chance its still gonna be ok ...good luck hope this helps
