    Sounds like the key may not have made proper contact with the contacts (the ring around the keyhole) - this can prevent the fuel pump priming the fuel lines before cranking - you then need to crank the engine till oil pressure gets up and supplies power to the fuel pump. Do a code check and if it's a 31 it will be this problem.

    i didnt think car would crank over at all if the key is not making contact with the key reader

    I think you are correct....but I'd still do a code check.
