No, the 1998 Ford Taurus does not have a chip key. Instead, it uses a traditional metal key without any transponder technology. Chip keys became more common in later model years, starting around the early 2000s. Thus, for a 1998 Taurus, a standard key is all that is needed for ignition.
The 2000 Ford Taurus does contain a transponder chip inside the key. The replacement can be programed by a locksmith or dealer service department.

Replacing the chip in a key for a 1998 Ford Taurus typically costs between $50 and $150, depending on whether you go to a dealership or a locksmith. Dealerships may charge more due to higher labor costs and programming fees. It's advisable to call around for quotes and inquire about any additional programming that may be required.
