My wife got keys cut for her newly purchased 2003 Honda Civic and they

will not start the car.? The car turns over but does not even sputter - sounds like it has no spark at all. Does anyone know how to get around this feature on the kut keys. See - she lost her original and now only has the two keys she got cut - but they wont stat the car.

the car will not start,unless you get a key from the dealer beacause the original keys have a ship in it,and only the dealer will sell you a duplicate, you have to take the car registration,for them to see the vin number and make you another key,they run about $150 dollars each.
