It will if your spare key doesn't hold the immobiliser... If it does, it won't start the because it won't be sending a signal to the receiver on the ignition....
Seeing that you used the chip from the spare key, that chip might hold the immobiliser :)
The Key I took the chip out of still works.. inserted it into the ignition and it works... :)
So does that mean a generic key would?
With my family's lancer.. we needed to get mitsubishi to cut the key, because when my sister got a copy from a local keycutter, the key would open the doors, but wouldn't start the engine..
dont tell me I need to buy a Honda Blank... = $100 :thumbdwn: :(
Coz a key itself cant be programmed.. only the chip Im sure!!??
Whomever cut your key should have been able to put the chip into the key you want to use, i think there is a master key for this or some crap like that. Its like a ford courier, you can open any courier door with any courier key, and even crank the motor over, but it wont fire. LOL Now lets not all go out stealing things out of ppls ford couriers
I dont need a chip tho... I dont think so neways.. Just want a Spare Key that works..
get oem =)
If you owned a gemini you could use your house key.
If you had an older model tarago.. you could use a fork ;]
i used a flathead screw driver with my old escort.
stealth if i where you id spend a bit extra and buy oem. problem solved
rx7 series 1 -> Central locking -> jump on roof.. opens all doors and glass boot =)
