This forum is dedicated to 1g and 2g DSMs. Yours is a 3g Eclipse. Head over to club3g.com as that's the dedicated 3g forum.

That said, it sounds like you just need to have the ecu/anti theft system learn and receive your new ignition switch/key. Many cars have a procedure to do this that the owner can take care of (cycling the key several times while holding the brake pedal down... stuff like that). The folks at Club3g should be able to point you in the right direction.
