You'll need to diagnose exactly what the problem is. Either the key does not match the ECU, or there is something wrong with the communcations between the key and the ECU (e.g. wiring, immobiliser module, etc, etc)

No, the codes are compared between the chip in the key and the code stored in the ECU for a 97/98 car. The immobiliser unit just provides the communications link between them.

you dont have too look at everything thats on the list just the code 53 which is 8 diff things and all you need to do is check them if they are all ok and then if still not working you can call someone to take a look at it.
