you need to find the resistance of the "chip" in the key and use that size resistor in the vats... take a look at the starter one day i drove the car fine no problem starting then i drove to the city (about 20 miles) and couldnt start the car it did nothing no click... thankfully i had a 5 speed and was able to pop start it got it home and the solenoid broke off the starter... oddest thing ive ever seen
