Aight, we got it finally lol

well since the key is still seized up in the ignition, do u think the ignition went out???

since its a 90, its probably using a distributor to fire the spark plugs, find the distributor, pull the main plug and all will stop at the same time not hurting you engine.

or you could just sit in the bed of your truck with a shotgun all night waiting for the gas to run out.

Pull fuel pump relay under hood then disconnect battery...go inside have a beer sit down relax and tomorrow you will have to replace either the ignition switch or the push rod inside the column.

Just run it out of gas, haha. Or you could syphone? all of the gas out and let it run till it dies.

One solution but the bottom of the tank is full of crap bad for the engine considering its a 1990

because i take a dump in my tank everytime i fill up my car? its just gas in there, maybe a little bit of build up from crappy gas but a v8 should be able to power through crappy gas. if not, fill it up with a gallon and drive it 1/2 mile before you run out.

i wouldnt risk anything like that just take its air away and deal with the key after or grow a pair and get the key out urself w/o killing the truck

There is no risk in killing his fuel pump. Its just like running out of gas on the road.

the ignition switch may have, the ignition im sure is fine. sounds to me like a problem inside of the steering column.

No offense but you have no idea about auto mechanics, do you?

make sure your shifter is in park ....try putting in gear and putting it back in park ....also try moving your sterring wheel side to side and see if that works ...if not you have to pull your injector or fuel pump fuse when the car dies out dissconnect the battery or you will drain it ......if nothing works getting the key out you will probably have to replace the ingition cyclinder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

My key was stuck in my car for awhile, I could get it to shut the car off, but not far enough back to get the key out, so I'd just do that and undo the battery connections.

Wiggle the shifter around, tap the brake, or maybe pull the truck forward a bit, and come to a quick stop and try. I know mine had a sensor go bad in the shifter (automatic too) and it thought it wasn't in Park, so it wouldn't let the key come out.

Easiest way to get the truck shut off would be take the air filter off real quick and cover the opening up, pull a few spark wires off, block the exhaust, drain the oil, or even cut fuel/run out of gas

Think, you have to rob it of fuel, air, or spark...
Which one is easiest.

*Think spark, think of the wires....*

He could kill ignition but pulling all the wires would be a bad idea. You can easily kill Body control modules by letting a plug wire short to ground on newer cars.

what you do?

unplugged the alternator then disconnected the positive battery terminal

the ignition switch may have, the ignition im sure is fine. sounds to me like a problem inside of the steering column.
