Anti-theft

My wife recently knocked the anti theft chip out from under the steering wheel area. She tried and started it and it wouldnt start (no ****) so i plug it back up and try and start and it wont start unless i give it some gas while cranking it. Any tips on how to reset the anti theft or if the fuel pump or any help about whats wrong. thanks'

Well i disconnected the negative wire and left it off for about an hour. I plugged it back up and still it wouldn't start like normal. I checked the anti theft fuse and its good and i Don't know how to reset the relay.

I don't think the hard starting is related to the anti-theft at all. If the anti-theft was enabled the car wouldn't start no matter what you do. From your post, it seems as though the car starts... just not easily.

Only reason on why I believe the ait theft had soemthing to do with it. Is because when my wife knocked it out. She kept trying to start it and it would start. 6 months later when I come back from a deployment. I plug the chip back in and try and start it and i gave to give it gas while cranking the engine. sometimes that doesnt even work. I check the TB and it is cleaned. No codes are showing up so im clueless.

If I understand correctly, your car sat unused for 6 months - since it wouldn't start.... well damn, keeping a car idle for 6 months - I'm not surprised you have some starting issues...
