Now the car acts like it has an attitude where the theft system thinks it's been tampered with almost everytime I start the car. It did it four times while on the weekend. I usually have to wait 10 minutes before the light goes out. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have talked to my mechanic and he said that the theft system may be on it's way out. I don't want to shell out a bunch of money because I know it's not cheap. Can I keep driving it until it finally locks up on me? What are my options? Please let me know as I will be making a move back to Texas from Virginia. I do not want to be stranded on the road just because my car doesn't want to start due to a theft system.

My 99 has been doing the same thing for years. It comes and goes. What someone told me is i will need to replace the ignition key lock assy.
