the key for the tires that snaps onto the lugnuts broke when i was changing it and where can i get a new one?

secondly, whenever i try my spare ignition key it wont start. the engine cranks and theres power to everything but it wont pump fuel unless i use the original key? what can i do to correct this?

mind you-the spare is the one i got from the dealership

Did the wheel key come with the car ? There should be a key code that came with it for a replacement. I have sometimes removed the wheel locks by pounding a 12 point socket onto them. You spare ignition key sounds like it might be defective and not triggering the passlock,

Go to the dealer that made you the key tell them what's happening.Ask them about the wheel key also see what they say. Also look in your owners manual packet look or a card or something with the key code for the wheel key.

The spare key is only to unlock the door not start the car.

You need to have a key thats programed to start the car. Take it back to dealer.. They can also get you a key for the tires.. X
