My ignition also locked up on me. I had to get it towed and the mechanics couldn't get a key in to remove the ignition. It had to be drilled out and cost over $300. Now my gas mileage has dropped from about 33mpg to 25mpg. Can't find anything wrong other than the air temperature sensor is off 10-15 degrees. It will cost another $300 to replace and they don't even know if it will fix the problem.
