Few simple questions....

Is there a transponder or something in the factory key? Because I went and got a copy of my key, I shove it in, pushed the "Engine start" Button, and the engine only turns over but wont start up.

Is there something wrong with the copy? or is there something in the keyless entry remote from the factory?

 

immobilizer guy

 

I got the Copy of the key from the dealer though....then what could it be?

 

you will need to get a key that has the engine code built into it. The engine has a immobilizer as do MOST cars 98 and up. Basically go to your dealership or look online. Im sure someone is offering the service. The Keys can run you around 100 bucks or more though.

Most likely. Thanks for reply guys.

 

you need to have the ecu programmed to accept the immobiliser code from that new key

 

the dealer can program a new key, i think its around 40-50 dollars
