Our database does not have information on your vehicle so I am not able to ascertain if the immobilizer is designed to work this way. In the early 90s some vehicle manufacturers did have such features but has since been discontinued.

Did you try using the fob to disarm ?
Try locking all doors and using the key to open either of the front doors and use the key to start.

Prices ranges region to region so I am not able to provide any quotes for reprogramming the PCM.
