I just bought my 99 4 dr GTP and the ignition switch let go completely as I was picking it up from the safety.

As I was trying to start it the car would run but just barely and then crap out completely. I did manage to get it started once or twice more but did kill the battery in the process. I charged the battery and then went again to start it but just got cranking with a bit of a fuel smell. Pulled a plug but it was dry.

Now my first question is, since I am not using the ignition, I am jumping from the starter to the battery with a lead, have I triggered the security?

Second question, if the key does not have a chip in it is there still security on the car?

Third question, The way it was running previously as in I had to feather the gas pedal to get the revs up to 4 K to keep it running, do you think the fuel pump resistor has bit it as it is the original behind the battery.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
