Need help ignition 2nd gen

Went to start my 93 runner this morning cranked over for a second then lost all resistance in the key so now just flips back and forth after the ACC with no crank but battery still putting in power turns lights on tried to get a jump too also put in a new lock cylinder but still does same thing?? Anyone have a clue what’s going on also thinking it could be the ignition inter motor too lmk what you think?

 

Sounds like you need a new starter motor.

 

Car turns on fine with screw driver

 

Hi:
Do you mean that the key switch has lost the spring back ability that happens when you turn it to the crank the motor position?
If so, there is a removable electric switch on the rear of the key assembly.
That is where the "spring back" function lives.
You can change out that switch, and still keep the same ignition key.

What is an ignition inter motor too lmk?

Good Luck

And use some punctuation, too, eh?
