i need to find out what the resistance is for my key..
if i don't slide the key in nice and easy the car wont start
both keys are pretty worn down. so i think that new keys might help

Checking the resistance is easy if you have a multimeter. Just read between the little tabs on both sides of the key.
I think the owners book said you have to take it to the dealer and have him put it in a special key reader which gives the number value so you don't have to translate the oms value

I took mine down to the GM dealer and they stick it in their little box thing
and they tell you what the code is 1-10. Best of all it was free.

RED88Z51,
You have mail. List for key code by ohnic restistance.
I had a red 88 4+3 coupe for 11 years. Gave it to my son almost 3 years ago.
Graet car. had 128K miles on it and it was still very sound.
