Check pass key circuit in steering column for open. a easy test is to install key with pellet,and check resistance value at the end of harness. this harness will have a bright orange color. may need to disasm C100 to access terminals.(large connector under dash by steering column). the value of the key should be close to the value at end of wires. if values are not close,(IE: OL or infinity) then replace ignition lock cylinder AND key. you will need to take original key when purchasing new one due to the special resistance value the key contains.(1 thru 15 different values!)
what happens is the lock cylinder has small wires that move everytime you turn the key,and eventually break causing theft system to "think" a theft attemt has occured,and disables crank or fuel delivery systems.
