Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stored "Invalid Key" indicates that there may be an issue with the transponder key. If the customer has more than one transponder key on the ring, the immobilizer module may become confused and prevent the engine from running. This would explain the intermittent starting and dying of the engine.
