Have to have a dealer or locksmith with VATS system tester test the system and see if it's a bad key, ignition cylinder, module or something else. They had some problems on those where the little wires running from the ignition cylinder--where you put the key in--would fray and break over time. Came out with a revised cylinder if I remember. Sometimes spraying contact cleaner--from Radio Shack--into the ignition cylinder and wiping off the contacts for the chip in the key with a q-tip will solve the problem if the cylinder contacts are really dirty.
