last night i went to put my car on the street and out of the drive way, anyways i twisted key half way and just popped it into Neutral so i can roll out, well it didnt make it to where i wanted it too, so i went to turn it on, and it wouldnt start! the theft light keeps popping up and flashing then a clicking noise comes from the engine and then alarm goes off!

anybody know how to fix it please?!?

I'm not sure what the problem is, but my car does that occasionally as well. Supposedly if you clean your iac, and leave the battery off for awhile, it will fix it for awhile.

Prolly your starter or might need to have the antitheft light flashed at the dealership cuz is not recognizing the key and keeps the car locked.

Sounds like a pats problem to me. Check your starter and battery voltage just to be sure though.

its not going to be the starter (probably), if the theft is flashing it wont allow you to turn your car on/start it/possibly crank it over on the new cars, did you have the normal key for the car? i made a copy of mine once and it would turn over but wouldnt start it, if taking the battery off and reseting the car doesnt work and you dont have another key go the local ford dealer and have them reprogram your key/s to work with your car, $40 or something like that

if you buy the programmable keys like 10-20 bucks from ford you can program it yourself, just start the car with the original shut off take out and within 15 seconds pop the new key in and start it up...and its now programmed, ford charges like 100 bucks for that

I think that only works when the key doesn't have a chip inside..

idk i think the ones i bought had the chip cuz with out programmin them it would turn in the ignition and activate the fuel pump and you would have to go shut it off, until i started it with old one took out and started it with new one then all programmed...i could be wrong tho...
