Sometimes you have to shimmy the steering wheel back and forth while trying to put the ignition to lock position. Many vehicles do this.

How does a chipped ignition key go bad it then sets off anti theft system and car wont start?

Because there are tumblers in the lock where you put the key in. When you put the right key in, all the tumblers are put in the right place and all the sensors are then turned off so the car will start. When all the tumblers are not put in the right position due to a bad key, the sensors stay on so when you turn the key, the cr won't start and the antitheft alarm goes off

Replace just the steering lock unit. The tumblers are old, and they need to be replaces. After replacing the lock, go to a locksmith, and have him re-key the doors to match your new ignition lock.

Why wont the key go completely into the ignition?

If the lock barrel turns, then it's in as far as it needs to go. Otherwise, if the lock barrel doesn't turn, then it's faulty and needs to be replaced. This can unfortunately, sometimes entail replacing the entire Steering Lock Assembly.


How do i program keyless remote for 08 Chevy impala?

Insert ignition key, turn to "on" position and back to "off" position three times ending in the "on" position while holding the door lock button on your driver or passanger door, after the honks, let go of the lock button and hold the "lock" and "unlock" button of your remote until the vehicle honks again, now position your ignition key to the off position and unlock your door and open it. That should do the trick.
