    i did a video on how to program your old keys to that new pcm for the torrent the new pcm don't recognize the old key so when you reprogram the old keys to it its in sync with the ecm and pcm on another note that can problem could be is the batter terminals there to corroded to make a good contact try to clean it with a wire brush real good

      @@WagsAutomotive I had a similar no-start issue. The key would intermittently turn (and the car would start) or it wouldn't. I thought it was something with the column/keyswitch. In the end, the key itself was worn enough that it would work some of the time and not others. I had a new key cut from the VIN and problem solved 100%.
