Re: lost my keys need help getting car started
Proof of ownership, VIN and a trip to the dealer should get you a key. Not gonna be free. Your other choice would be to do a resistor bypass, trying the resistance values of all the key pellets until you found the correct one, then still have to rig up wiring to start and run the car (since you won't be able to turn the key and use the ignition switch). You'll need an ignition switch wiring schematic for your car and the ability to read it. The first suggestion would be the easiest and least destructive to your wiring.
