    Just sprayed a little pb blaster in the ignition, now it will not turn forward to start. Any suggestions how to free it?

    Let me guess you were having problems with the lock.

    PB Blast is not for locks. You should use powdered graphite.

    PB eats plastic, says so right on the can. Leave it to Toyota to probably make the ignition components out of said plastic.

    I'd be concerned about PB Blaster in the lock cylinder.

    That shit flows and creeps everywhere and you have wires/voltage there.

    Uh oh... you should have used graphite, not PB Blaster. You might have just screwed up really badly...
