Don, if all of the keys you have are programmed into the ecu/pcm, as long as the theft light wasn't blinking rapidly during the attempted starts the no start condition was caused by something else.

I did not look at the dash to see if the theft light was blinking rapidly ....... I was in a state of shock, and was not reacting rationally.
I used the same key for two weeks following the NO START, and just changed keys. If the condition repeats, I will focus on a blinking light, and determine
if the condition is key related.

I'm assuming that ii is key related, as the system reset, and anything fuel related would not reset automatically. Or, as you suggest in post #28: it isn't a case of "resetting" more to the tune on making enough contact to "close" the circuit and allow current flow.

I have been using the same ignition key since 2004.
It may be tired.

Thanks.
