Put the new key in, turn it on for 10 minutes, off for 30 seconds. Try to start. This should reset the security.

I had a similar problem. Check your battery, it is probably on the verge of dying. My problem went away when the battery was replaced.

I need help troubleshooting a problem with my 2000 olds silhouette, 3.4eng, it's spark knocking and looses power when put in gear. Before I replaced plugs and wires today it was hard to start and then all...

Timing chain may have slipped a link. Run a compression test. Bad crankshaft sensor is also possible. Is the engine light on?

Most likely your alarm system needs reset. When you use the button to turn the alarm on and off the horn beeps and lights flash. Horn beep when switch turned on, makes sense would be in the alarm system with all you've told.
