The gray key has a chip in it so it wont start with the black one the black ones dont have chips. Does the grey one still turn the cylinder?Is the security light on solid or flashing?

You should have keyed the new cylinder to the old grey key then the car would then the car would start. Take the new cylinder to the lock smith and have him key the new cylinder to the old grey key.
