RE: car wont start
first off in order to progam a PATS key you must have 2 keys min. The first step after security access is to erase all known keys in order to program new keys. So if he already tried to progtram it you'll need anther key to get any further.
If he didn't try programing first check the back of the key. There will be a retangular plug. Thats the PATS transmitter. If theres a hole in the back of your key the transmitter fell out. If the transmitter is there check
the transiever connector. White connector attached to steering column its easy to access by removing the knee plate sometimes a wire pulls out or brakes at this connector.
also check and make sure that you check engine light comes on with the key on. If is dosn't your pcm is not powering up. check fuses, grounds, and relays.
