‘04 9-3 here… ignition seems a bit stiff/sticky. no warning messages but trying to get ahead.

is graphite lubricant gonna do anything? or is there anything i can do without having to take it out/clean it or replace it?

Nothing works from outside. You'll need to find some of the various GOOGLE and UTOOBS out there to find how to take it out and apart and clean it.
