my car doesn't start with the ignition anymore, so i have to use a screwdriver from underneath to start it now which is pretty annoying. anyone know what to do?

Replace the ignition. Its really easy, and the part isnt too expensive.

It's most likely your starter solenoid...mine is doing the same thing right now. Does it try to crank sometimes and not others or no crank at all?
