Default Problem Programing Key Fob, Help

I got the fob in today. My car when I got it last week did not have one, I do have a Canada Spec car. Well I followed all the instructions on programing and even re-syncing the fob, it works good up untill I start the car then after that it wont work till I do one of the above again. It does have a fresh battery (in the fob), any idea what could be wrong??

Edit I do have a 00 coupe and the fob # is AB00216T

if you are lucky, it could be that the battery is a little loose. check the contacts (in the fob) and bend a little to make sure there is good contact. other than that......, good luck!
have you tried a key fob search on this forum?

If the fob is used, then you probably need a new one. They just go bad. Did you get it used on ebay or is it brand new?
