Lately I have been having an intermittent problem with my 97 Cobra.
Sometimes it will start fine and other times it will fire up and the die
right away, when it dies if you crank it over it will not start but if you
pull the key out and hit the unlock button on the fob it will fire right
back up. Sometimes it does not do this for days, other times it will do it
once or twice, and sometimes it will do it 15 or 20 times before it will
stay running. I am leaning towards the transponder key being bad because
when I bought the car the key was covered in scotch tape. Am I headed down
the right path? any other suggestions?
