Porsche Crest 97 Boxster S - Ignition Replacement

My '97 Boxster (2nd Owner) @ 60,000 miles about every 4th start attempt requires 10-15 key attempts before starter engages AND/OR the key (a new one) is jammed in the ignition key cylinder - apparemtly a "typical" problem.

How do I correctly identify the actual part (order #) for BOTH a) the electrical
portion of the ignition switch and b) the ignition key cylinder?

Too, is a NEW key required if a new key cylinder is installed?
How do I obtain one, if needed?

THX! Doug Stowell, Greenville, SC

It sounds like ignition switch is bad. The electrical part not the mechanical part. Fairly inexpensive.

Agreed.I might spray contact cleaner in there, let it dry out and try it then. I like CRC it doesnr affect plastic parts
