Hi Karlaw. I also sold mine because of the damned PASS key system. The pellet in the key has a specific electrical resistance. Measure it with an ohmmeter. You can find the key number that corresponds to that resistance and order a bypass for it. Ecklers, Corvette America, etc. all sell them. The dealer ended up changing out three lock cylinders before I figured out what was wrong at $400 a pop. In the FSM, if nothing else checks out, te default is to change the ignition lock cylinder. DON'T DO THAT!! Mine would lock me out of the system for several hours stranding me and once the time had elapsed, would start like nothing happened. If you buy the bypass (about $50 if I recall) your present ignition key will work just fine. That PASS system is a royal PITA!
