PASSKEY SENSOR BYPASS
The most common failure in these is the sensor in the ignition lock that reads the key pellet. That would mean replacing the ignition lock with a sensor included.
That sensor can be bypassed. You would need a digital ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the pellet in the key. Now go to Radio Shack and buy a resister of the exact same value as the key pellet. Go to the base of the steering column and locate the two thin white wires that go up to the sensor. Cut the two wires and solder the resister between the two ends coming from the harness. This will permanently bypass the sensor but not the rest of the system.

Hey Hammer, What if I just cut those 2 white wires will it start?
I'm just trying to get it home before it gets stripped.
Thanks

The ghetto method. This requires 2 keys, the 2nd doesn't need a pellet, it just needs to be able to turn the lock cyl.
Find the 2 correct wires HT posted. There will be a small connecter between the lock cyl & harness going to the module. Disconnect the connector & cut it on the cyl side with at least 3 to 4" of wire to work with. Tape/glue/use a stick gum to attach the wire to each side of the pellet of the key and plug it back into the main harness. Using the other key, start the car.
If the problem was broken wires in the lock cyl (70 to 80% of time the problem) the car should start & run.....

Here are all the possible choices
Yours would seem to match the 1.870

Hammer is right on with his advise, have done this hundreds of time to these vehicles, also the 2 small wires are usually encased in a orange sheath. and they are very very small
