It's the immobilizer the ignition and key and ecm all need to be programmed so there in sync. Call a locksmith and say you need your new key programmed

It does not have to be a locksmith, it can be a mechanic or dealer that has the proper equipment. But that usually requires the cost of a Tow. A locksmith can come out to you.
