Default Re: Car didn't start

vehicle anti-theft system. It is that black pellet in the ignition key (and the system that reads the pellet's resistance).

It's not uncommon for the pellet to wear over time and no longer make good contact. There are also other wear parts, but for me I've been able to solve VATS problems on past cars with a new ignition key.
