get a digital voltmeter/ohmmeter touch the 2 ends to your resistor on your key. that will give you the resistance in ohms. then, go to radio shack, buy some resistors and make it so that your radio shack resistors = the key's resistance. next, take the lower dash cover off (the part over top of the pedals. look for a lil wiring harness that goes up to your ignition lock cylinder and disconnect it. plug your resistor into the wiring coming from the ECU side and youll be good to go! i did it in my 3rd gen and it works lol
