Just a wild guess. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes and see if it resets the computer. Then lock and unlock the door with the remote a few times before trying to start it. I hope that helps.

I just have a key no remote though I think my best bet is going to be to get the door fixed

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Touch the negative terminal to the positive terminal (still connected to battery) and hold them touching for one full minute. This will decaipacitate the anti theft system, causing it to reset.
