No, if you have two operable programmed keys you can have a new matching programmable key cut anywhere, but you'll have to provide the key to your local hardware store as they won't stock it. Check on line and you can get a decent price on key blanks, and just follow the instructions on your manual on how to program a new key. The manual will also show you how to add additional remotes, again shop on line and save!

Would a car door key without a chip damage the ignition system?

Yes! If you take an uncoded key (like an emergency door key) and try to start the car, the ignition system will disable itself. This is why locksmiths generally will not cut a spare key for you, and if they are willing to cut one, some will make you sign a waiver that says you will not place the key in the ignition to avoid getting sued later. A dealer can unlock the system for you. <><><><><> There is also a procedure for coding a new key to your ignition system. Again, see the dealer.

Would a worn ignition key cause the theft system to go to passlock mode so the vehicle won't start this vehicle is a 97 olds?

The thing that causes the PASSLOCK to activate is the chip, if you will. If the chip is bad, ar is unrecognizable to the system, the PASSLOCK will activate. Take it to a dealer asap. You can bypass the passlock by accessing the ignition, and cutting the yellow wire of a small 3 piece wire set that's on top of the ignition. cut the yellow small wire from ign. switch in the column up by the switch. this is the passlock wire.
