I would firstly recheck everything you have done connection wise as most likely a plug not on somewhere, but cps would be a fave, make sure yiou use the auto cps as the manual one is shorter(I beleive) and will not generate a signal on auto as ring gear around torque convertor too far away, worth a check.

The key will be chipped but if using the same ecu then it is no problem, the chip is a little red bit on the keys edge, try the other keys as very occasionally these can play up, what is the pats light doing ?
