Use the other ignition key and see what happens. You can have a faulty key now. A transponder is embedded inside the keys head that makes the starter to work off the computer

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

your anti theft is more than likely doing it is their a key pad where you enter a code? If so you need to enter the code that was hard wired to it when you have a bad battery or change the battery the system defalts to the hard wired code, if you don't know the code it should be on a sticker in the trunk I think it is on the hindge to the trunk lid right side!

Cold morning car wont start

If the anti-theft light is flashing, turn the key to the On position and leave it there until the light stops flashing. Turn the key off, then try to start the car. The Anti-Theft system can get tripped for no reason and cause this exact problem.

2001 Ford Taurus flashed theft light while driving and stalls. It does that intermittently. Starts fine.

IT WILL HAVE EITHER PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) MODULE OR REMOTE ANTI-THEFT PERSONALITY (RAP) MODULE . REPLACE THE MODULE.

make sure battery is fully charged and have tested for a weak cell and check out the alternator and the drive belt and if the car has over 40,000miles it needs a tune up plugs wires fuel filter and if all this fails have the timing checked and don't forget the crank sensor to have it checked

On start flashing theft light on 02 windstar

I just had this same thing happen with my Ford Taurus, and it turned out to be a bad key. The repair shop switched back and forth between two different keys we had with us 10 or 12 times, and it always started with the good key, never with the "bad" key. They said if the theft light is flashing quickly, that means the anti-theft system is engaging. If the anti-theft light just lights up, that is normal.
