How can i tell whether or not its the tx key defective? Car only gives a spark or 2 from the coil per every one time that i swing engine. When the ht lead is connected to the distributor, car sounds like its almost gona take everytime i swing afresh.Could it be the transponder key or distributor? How is the security light on the dash supposed to respond when i insert key into ignition slot? Please help!
