www.programmeyourkeys.com Just a thought, does your key/immobilizer need resetting, this site should tell you how to do it.

Had exactly the same problem with my year 2000 2.8 14 model,eventually had to by pass the imoblisor completly,( which takes less than 10 mins work to do)
It appears to be a very common problem.
