Ignition Key flakey
Around half the time I turn the key in my ignition, there'* nothing. Just nothing happens at all. I try turning the key again, and voila -we start right up. Yes, my ignition key has a resistor thing in it.
I swapped my ignition key with the one my wife has one her keychain. I have no problem. Every time I try to start the car, it starts.
What'* the scoop on these funky keys? Do they go bad, or what? They're expensive, right? And do I have to go to a dealer to get a new one?
Ugh.

Any more I do not think you have to go to the dealer ... Some places will be able to make you a key...
I paid $26 or 27 for a key for my 95 4 years ago... But you may want to try and clean the pellet in the key first and see what happens
