I have 2 keys, the one key will start the vehicle just fine , but the other key will only let the engine crank over but no start . This key will make the theft light flash rapidly as well.

As to the one key not working, you'll have to have your local dealer re-program that key. There are various reasons that could cause this: Any larger metal object coming near the ignition when you're trying to start it (like a heavy house key), magnetic interference, moisture, etc...
