2001 Ford Sportrac; PATS ignition device. (Passive Anti Theft).
Being quoted $250 to get new key on site.
Anyway to disable this system? This old beast has seen better days and I can drive the Cobra a thousand miles on that kinda money! Hey - there - I'm on topic again!
Perfect!

The PATS can be shut off with a custom tune. Other than that, you're out of luck.
As for the price, just shop around. It's a $20 key, and 15 minutes to program. These places (some dealers included) make it seem like a million dollar procedure. You will need two new keys though, because you need two keys to program.
