2001 solara wont start

Postby sparc » Tue Jul 04, 2006 11:50 am

so a friend of mine was visiting and accidentally took my keys back home with him!

now i have my backup key - its either a copy of the master or a valet im not sure. i go to turn my car on, it turns over but wont start. has plenty of gas in it and i just want to see if i can solve it on my own today instead of going to the dealer tommorow

could it be because i locked it with keyless then opened with a different key? any opinions help, thanks.

keys in our solara's have a microchip built into the key handle. if you got it copied from like a hardware store or something....it won't work. It'll work on the door locks and trunk and what not...but won't turn the car on.

I could be wrong but I think that's how it works.

Make your friend send them to you FedEx 8:30am delivery. That will be cheaper than getting a new key (at least form what I have heard on other's posts about the cost of a dealer key).

Make sure that you don't have any of the keychain rings resting on the key. IE make sure everything is dangling or better yet take it off. Sometimes that will interfere with the transmitted signal. Hope you get things figured out.
