I feel for you Tmaxxman. That's a tough spot to be in, but don't worry. Every problem has a solution, so let's take this one step at a time. Here's what I think you should do. Get a new key and see if it fixes your problem. If it doesn't, there might be a way for you to replace the EIS yourself, and then drive the car to a dealer to have the programming done. It's a lengthy explanation, and I don't like unnecessary typing, but if the new key doesn't fix the problem, post the results in this thread and I'll do whatever I can to help you out.
