Replacing key with chip

+1 for FORScan and it's PATS programming abilities

If you wanted to be really cheap, you could eBay a new ignition barrel with keys, and DIY the programming

But then your keys will only work in the ignition, and I don't know if you have keyless or are amenable to that limitation

The proper repair would be to procure a new barrel, and bring an existing lock from the vehicle to the locksmith, so he can rekey the new barrel to your old locks around the vehicle

Reinstall, and DIY programming

This is the cheapest adapter that I recommend for use with FORScan

If it's got power locks, and you don't have a remote, it takes mere seconds and maybe $10 for a pair of remotes

There's no reason anyone should be driving a Ford without a remote fob, when they are so cheap and easy to program
The Ford 8 cut cylinders are easy to build. I do them all here. I haven't put myself through the torture of learning the sidemill/laser cut cylinders yet.
