I checked the fuel line during a crank and there is plenty of fuel flow. Not a fuel pump issue.
Next need to check the crank sensor, I think that might be the issue.

What's the way to check the operation of the crank sensor? Is it to check for spark with the ign coil out or is there a better way?
Get the car scan and if the CPS is the problem you should have an error code.

Wow that's an expensive mistake. There are people on this board and on eBay that can repair your key.

Watch out for the Cliff Clavins on this board.
