There is a toothed gear and a rack just behind the keyed switch. Perhaps the gear has jumped a tooth or two. If this has happened take it to someone that can replace both gear and rack. You may be able to "time" the rack and gear that's in there but if it has skipped once, it could happen again. The safe bet is to replace them.

When you turn the key to the on position, the theft light should begin to flash. You must leave the key in the on position for approxamately 10 min. This will reprogram the key to the car. When this problem occurs, it is because the lock cylinder (ignition switch) needs to be replaced.

How do you remove and replace a ignition barrel in a 1987 Toyota Starlet XL?

Here are some notes I found on: http://experts.about.com/q/Toyota-Repair-832/91-tercel-steering-wheel.htm The ignition lock cylinder needs to be replaced, the only way the cylinder will come out is if you can get into the "acc" position, there is a release pin on the housing that you have to push in to remove the cylinder,. remove the covering around the locj to gain access to the pin, it may be a good idea to buy the new lock cylinder first so you can see where the release pin is, if you can not get the key into the ACC position the lock cylinder needs to be drilled out and I recommend having a Toyota dealer or locksmith deal with this.

How do I get the ECM to recognize the replaced Ignition Switch?

You replace the ignition cylinder and then turn the ignition (with key) to on position. All dash lights will light up in the on position. After a few seconds only the security light will flash. Leave the ignition on for 10 minutes while the security light flashes. At the end of the 10 minutes the security light will go out. This will be the first cycle of reseting the E.C.M. to read the new cylinder and ignition system replacement. At this point you do this process two more times. This will take proximately 30 minutes. At the end of all three cycles the car should come on. If you want someone to walk you through it E mail me at archuleta67@gmail.com.
