One of my ignition keys is not working. It would start the engine and then immediately shut it down. My other key works just fine. What are my options other then going to the dealer? The keys have the embedded chips in them.

Starting and then immediately shutting down most likely means the chip is bad in that key.

It also might have lost its programming. You shoudl take it to a dealer, a friendly one if you got one. Those keys are over 100 bucks so you want to save it if you can.
