It's possible the key is worn, do you have another key to try? Could be ignition inside is worn not catching the groove in key.

What do I do with my Lincoln zephyr after replacing the ignition key with a chipped key, the anti theft device shut the car down

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (RUN) position.
just look at the lamp carefully.

all you need to do is see this, error and you know why IMMO cuts spark and engine will not start, BY DESIGN
check all fuses
scan the PCM see why IMMO fails
you said
chip key replacement<<< what does that mean, a lock smith or online hacker made, or what.? hacks do not work.
or mobile lock smith did this?
does engine crank or not. if yes and IMMO blinks wrong ,IMMO is not happy.
with key on LOCK pos. this lamps blinks to warn thieves, PROTECTED so find car with keys left in the car, not yours.

Does the emobilizer and key have to be replaced if the wrong key was put in ignition and had to be pulled and wiggled pretty hard to remove now it wont start

When you turn the ignition switch to ON(II), the immobilizer system indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK(0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON(II) again.If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key will need a repair.

2004,dodge intrepid is getting fire but won't start....any idea what's wrong??

fuel pump, fuses, and security. Start with fuses. Security light on. Lock the car down, all hoods shut. Open the door with the key. it should start. If you have an aftermarket alarm system, tear it out. Fix wires as you go. Check fuel pressure.

I have a 2004 trailblazer key stuck wont start

Check the fuse box. There should be something that tells what amp fuse #22 is. You may have a spare fuse in the box. Worse case scenario, pull a fuse of the same power from something that you don't need and use it til you get the key out. If the fuse keeps giving problems that indicates you need to get something checked out. DO NOT put in a larger amp fuse to get by. Fuses are there for a reason. It is not worth burning a Trailblazer up because of a $3.00 fuse.

The red light on my dash is flashing and my car is dead

It is indicating a problem with the engine & once the light comes on, it will prevent the engine from starting and will only go away after the problem has been rectified. Check the engine oil level, quantity of coolant, all the plugs and if you still cant find out whats wrong, then the best thing to do is take to a service center which has a computer for analyzing the error indicate what is the exact nature of the problem. If engine is OK then it will indicate what is wrong with the sensor which triggered this alarm & reset/calibrate it necessary...............sodeep
