Default Stolen Honda accord, new ignition switch

So my accord was stolen, and i went and bought a new ignition switch. Autozone told me i didn't have to get it programmed, just plug and play.
So i plug it in and my immobilizer won't stop flashing when i try to start my car.
It acts like it wants to start, turns over and acts like it's firing but then it dies immediately.

Please help

Did you replace the key cylinder and ignition key too or was it just the ignition switch by itself?

The ECM/PCM will need to be programmed to accept the new ignition key. For these older Immobilizer systems, many locksmiths can program the new key in; so, not necessary to go to the dealer like the later Accords (e.g., 2003 - current).

You could tape the old key to the new key to start the car and drive it to a locksmith, dealer, etc. to program the ECM/PCM to accept the new key's RFID chip code.

Honda added the Immobilizer starting in 1998; so, other than the additional info. regarding a new key, the other car info. didn't really make a difference to answer the question.

Solid idea, but the rat bastard who stole my car took off with the key when he left my car on the side of the road

Should be a code you can enter with the e-brake that will allow you to start the car and get it to the dealer or locksmith, look in the owners manual as I might have this confused with the newer Accords.
