column/key do not match the computer, tow to a dealer and have it programmed to match, or put the original computer back in so that it matches the key.

No need to take to a dealer. There is a way to relearn a key to the PATS system.

No need to tow to dealer. There is a way to reprogram the key to the current PATS.

Yup, there sure is...IF you have 1 original key and the computer/module/dash cluster hasn't been swapped out.

Put the original 2v computer back in it if you've got it still, car will start...
