Question
My 1996 nissan almera car will not start because the sensor chip of the ignition key is missing. The will start and goes off again. As a non-technician, what do i do?

Answer
Ralph,

You are going to need to find the color of your chip and get a replacement key.  The car will not run without it.  If you remember the color, mine is blue for my Nissan Maxima, and go to the dealer or on-line and order one.  Another way would be to get a locksmith to cut and code antoher key.  But, as a minimal you are going to need the chip to program the key yourself.  Email me back and let me know how it goes.
