Does a 1998 ford contour have a special ignition key?

The 4 cylinder model does not have special keys. The V6 equipped cars have an anti-theft system called PATS (Passive Anti-theft Transponder System). The keys have an RF chip that has to be programmed to the computer. You can order new keys through the dealer, locksmith or online, but they have to be programmed into the computer before they will work. On early Contours and Mystiques you only need one working key to program additional keys. On later Contours and Mystiques you need two working keys to program additional keys. If you don't have a working key (or two) the dealer or a locksmith will be needed to program the key.
