Key stuck in ignition, I did the reset on the steering column. Key came out and put it back in to try it and engine light came on. I hooked the reader up and said evap leak. All I did was reset. Now the gas gauge is messing up. Battery volts read 14.6. I really need help.

So, what happens on these cars is the shifter bushing wears in the shifter control rod and needs to be adjusted or replaced. This problem will not put the transmission in park completely and causes the ignition key to stick. Here is what I am talking about so you can check it out. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
