Parked for a week due to lost keys. Got replacement key but now won’t start. Turns over but won’t fire.

Hello,

Are these spare keys for your vehicle? If they are not and just new keys that you purchased, then you will have to get them programmed to your vehicle's Power-train Control Module (PCM). The only people that can do this for you is going to be the dealership or a locksmith. This is intentionally done to keep people from randomly being able to program keys and go around stealing other people's car. If you should have any other vehicle related questions, please, feel free to ask. It's what we do and why we are here.

Thanks,
Alex
