Help Please!! (Truck starts w/out keys in ignition)

Hi everyone,

I just bought a 1990 Ford Ranger and the ignition switch turns and starts the truck without the key in the ignition. What is wrong and how can i fix it?

It was probably broken as the result of an attempted or successful car theft. A locksmith or dealer can replace the lock. I don't know the procedure for your truck, but most are fairly simple.

Vehicle is a 1996 Ford Explorer, 6cyl, 90,200 miles. Autozone got a code of P0401, insufficient flow of EGR is detected. Any advise on how to correct this is much appreciated.
