That has nothing to do with keys.. Even if they needed programming it wouldn't turn over.

What color are the original keys? Do you still have any original keys? The answer to these two questions will determine what you do next.

There is a method to Cheddarnut's madness...

OP needs to post back...color will determine whether or not he has a chip inside the key. If he does have a chip in the key, he's gotta go to a dealership with his VIN to get it done. Just having a new one cut from a locksmith won't do it. Plus the OP never said WHERE he got his "new" keys cut.

Both of these are true if it has an Anti-Theft device and the key is not correct, it will NOT start.
