Either your chip does not make a good contact or a tiny wire inside the ignition lock cylinder is broken. If the latter is the case, you have to replace the ignition lock cylinder, order new keys, or bypass the system by inserting a specific resistor in the circuit.

Try spraying some WD-40 on the key and see if that helps.

If the wires are half broken, several attempts may eventually start the car.
