My car (2000 GSR) was broken into and the steering column casing was ripped off. The failed attempt has left me with a car that won't start, even with the key. I am going to take it to get fixed but I wanted to get an idea of what's wrong before taking it in...please help!

Current Situation:
- When keys are in ignition car turns over but won't start
- green light flashes on dash
- there is one wire with plastic end that looks like it should be plugged into some pins around the ignition

If there's any additional info that would be helpful, let me know...

Again...please help...

 

The immobilizer has a little antenna around the lock cylinder. Sounds like they pulled some wires off of that??

 

I haven't been able to locate where it plugs into. I'm working on that right now.

If that is the case would the car not start?

by the way, what are the odds that the entire immobilizer system (stock system) has been reset, thus not recognizing my key? Is this even possible?

 

Where is the lock cylinder located? ie. bottom, left/right?

 

The lock cylinder is where you put the key to start the car... ;o)

I'm not finding a good picture of the immobilizer antenna. It has to be close, because it reads the chip that's embedded in your key. Maybe it's built into the plastic shroud & they busted it apart??
