I think I tried the instructions in the FAQ section. Had to try a few times before I got the timing right though.

I'm pretty sure I did that same sequence and it worked on the first try. I programmed two keys, and they were both fine with that method. Maybe you are turning the key to on or acc? You aren't supposed to do that, just literally insert the key in. That is one thing I can think of that I found confusing.

Definately check out Locksmith Charley's website. It is an excellent resource for programming keys.

Go to: http://www.locksmithcharley.com/transponder.html

Choose the instructions which match your LC/LX model year. These worked on the first try for me.

I also used the instructions on the FAQ page. The first time it did not work because I did not know what flashing light I was supposed to look for.

Start a new thread with a title giving some indication of the topic and a person knowlegable and experienced in the issue may see your question and try and help out. Very few people read every thread.

I personally don't have any experience reprogramming keys. The above FAQ link is a good start.

I just bought a '99 a couple weeks ago, and ordered a key online too. Using the above instructions, I was able to get the key to start just fine, but was provided a second set of instuctions to program the remote entry. Are you having a problem with the remote entry or with everything?
