Question

Answer 1

Maybe buy another ignition { with the keys} from a junk yard and have a mechanic put it in for you.

Answer 2

Your 2000 Lincoln Continental is equipped with what's called a PATS key. If you have two working keys, you can program a third, or more keys up to a maximum of eight keys yourself. Failing that, your only option is to have another one cut and programmed at your nearest Ford dealership. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

that is the it ..if the key don;t have the chip, the car will not start..the dealer is you only option.
