Well it seems you have the anti-theft active, and whatever ECM is in it no longer recognizes whatever key it was programmed to match. You'll have to take it somewhere to have it programmed properly.

Or at a qualified locksmith. There won't be much cost difference at that point and at least the dealer is equipped to deal with the passlock system.

The thing is it was working...then it just started taking longer and longer start...so u think of I get a locksmith he might be able to fix it
