My m8 has a 1992 3.9 v8 and it has a ambolizer and for some unknown reason the igrnation won't come on at all. Any way to get arround this problem ps all fuses have been cheaked and are all fine!

I'm not convinced the problem is the anti-theft system. I would start by checking the ignition switch. You say all fuses have been checked, does that include the satellite fuse boxes? IIRC the 1992 model has 2 or 3 fuse boxes, not just the main one on the lower centre dash panel.

No lights, no nothing? If it's your switch most likely the round metal end cap that holds the electric contacts for the switch. Sometimes it can come loose, especially after the switch has been fiddled with.
