I own a 1996 Lexus GS ( UK Specifications), and am based in Mumbai, India. The details of the Car are as follows: • Model: GS 300 4 door 3.0 ltr • Stock No: 141001 • Chassis: JT153JSE700121615 • Model Code: JZS147R – BEPQFW • Engine No: 0445030 • Trim Code: LJ10 • Key No: 01333 I lost the original key a few weeks ago. I then had a new blank key cut, ( without a chip). The new replacement key starts the engine, but after a couple of seconds, the engine cuts off. I am unable to resolve the problem, nor is the local Toyota workshop. There is no Lexus dealership in India. I am unable to determine if this Car came with a standard key or a Transponder / programmed (chip) key. Can you help me solve this problem ? Would reprogramming the ECU be the answer, or would you be able to send me a programmed key ? I would sincerely appreciate any help that you can offer. Best wishes, Rusy
