Question edited to what I think, you thought you were saying :>D Question moved to model category. All vehicles need 2 good keys. I don't suppose you have a way of testing the battery voltage? It is drops below 11 volts, nothing works the way It should, including removing the key on a vehicle that is an automatic. You have the symptoms of a car alarm and immobilizer stopping it starting. After disconnecting the battery, it definitely need resetting. You need a mobile auto locksmith you cut you a new key and program both keys to make it start. People always think they only need one key because they are careful and won't lose it. Then they do and you either pay dealership prices for a key to be made based on the VIN number, or you buy a new lock and keys and have the hassle of fitting it and reprogramming it. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+locksmith+near+me ..

I am not sure what you mean when you say you blocked it off. You must have the water so it will circulate through the system and that means you need to splice the heater hoses together so the water will return to the radiator and through the motor. You could have a heater hose that is separated inside and not show. Did you check the thermostat to make sure it is operating. It sounds as if it is shut and needs replacement.
