If you could remove the anti-theft system, it wouldn't be called an anti-theft system. Try a different key. If that doesn't work, get it fixed. Those are your only two choices unless you think you know how to rewrite all the software code

I had a 1996 Taurus. My drain plug was on the back of the radiator, by the lower hose. It was a plastic butterfly key type of top. It broke( being plastic), when I struggled to open it. I hope this helps

sounds like your A/C drain is clogged since its in that area...only other drain holes are at the very bottom of the doors which would not cause a build-up of water in the area your talking about...chek A/C drain hose/pipe...if its raining when you find this build-up of water then possibly your windshield needs attention...just squirt a water hose at the windshield in the general area of the leak and have someone look inside for any leaks...Cecil

EVAP leak could be the vent valve or solenoid

First things first, the car while not run long with out the alternator it supplies the electrical power you car needs not the battery, the battery is for starting the car. Go to your local parts store and have them test your battery and alternator, if you don't have a test or, they can do this with the parts still on the car and load test them. If those check out ok then check your ground to starter and frame ground wires for rust and corrosion, if that checks out ok. Remove starter and take to local parts store and have tested to make sure starter solenoid isn't week and that starter is working fine. My guess is one of these things are your issues. Is a check engine light on and if so have you read the codes?

Technical problem that needs manufacture.

Does the engine rev and you don't move, if so have to check the transaxle. I'm not a tranny person. If other, how long since a tune-up? Are there any applicable trouble codes? To check codes yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. Some of the national brand auto stores will check po codes for free. I don't know if they will check manufacturer specific codes? There is more we could talk about, but, I need more info to know which direction?

Take it back to the person who fitted the engine good luck but don't sound good to me
