Question
My boyfriend has a 91 Cadillac Deville with an ignition key with a chip in it.  Often times the car will not start immediately.  He is suggesting to me that it is the chip in the key that is causing the problem.  could this problem be solved simply by getting another key or is it more complex than that?

Answer
Your problem could be the:

PASS-KEY module.
